Is it possible to have yakuake start whenever a user logs on so that
the user does not have to start it from a terminal emulator when s/he
wants to use it? The colours I want it to use are green on black, but
running in a terminal emulator command "yakuake --bg black --fg green"
as specified in the manual do not produce the desired result. Yakuake
will open but with the default colours black on white.
I am presently using Debian Squeeze with KDE-Trinity, and package
yakuake-trinity.

New subject: [trinity-users] Starting yakuake with specified colours on log in by a user
I have yakuake starting automatically on my system whenever I log on. This is provided
Trinity's
sesssion management. See KControlCenter -> Session Manager. Alternatively, if for some
reason you
don't want session management, you should be able to put a script starting Yakuake in
~/.trinity/Autostart
As for colors you need to set the colors the way you want them (from context menu in
Yakuake) and
once you've done that choose "Save as default" from the same menu.
Hope that helps.

Thank you for your response. I found that if in the session manager I
select "Restore previous session" and if at the most recent log out
from that session yakuake was activated, yakuake will be started on
the next log in by the same user, and will open in my home directory.

(from context menu in Yakuake) and once you've done that choose

This part of your message I do not understand. What is the "context
menu in Yakuake"? The only selection options I have when yakuake is
open are those in the lower right corner of the screen. None of the
menu options which appear when the "open menu" option (the one with
the spanner/wrench) is selected allow choosing colours.
I tried the following script, called "yakuake-start", in directory
~/.trinity/Autostart:
#!/bin/bash
yakuake --bg black -- fg green
cd ~
and unchecked the "restore previous session" option described above.
On log in yakuake started but the colour options were ignored.
Furthermore, the cd command was also ignored; yakuake opened in the
directory ~/.trinity/Autostart, not in my home directory.
I also tried variations on the colour options, such as an equal sign
between the option and the argument and enclosing the arguments in
double quotes. I also tried the command "cd /home/ken" (my home
directory) in the script which was also ignored.
Is there a way to open yakuake both where I want it and with the
colours I want?
Regards, Ken

Yes,
that's exactly how session management works. Is this solution not satisfactory (aside
from
the colors issue)?
This part of your message I do not understand. What
is the "context
menu in Yakuake"?
It the menu you get by right-clicking in Yakuake terminal.
It allows you to set fonts, colors,
etc. Once you've done that you need to select "Save as default" from the
menu. An alternative is
to select "Use Konsole settings" to have Yakuake always mimic Konsole settings
(as the option
name implies).
I tried the following script, called
"yakuake-start", in directory
~/.trinity/Autostart:
#!/bin/bash
yakuake --bg black -- fg green
cd ~
and unchecked the "restore previous session" option described above.
On log in yakuake started but the colour options were ignored.
I actually know
nothing about these command-line color options - can't help here.
Furthermore, the cd command was also ignored; yakuake
opened in the
directory ~/.trinity/Autostart, not in my home directory.
Yes, that's exactly
what you told it to do :-) That `cd ~` is not a command executed in yakuake
but in the shell process that is running the script. If you want a newly opened shell to
start in
a particular directory you can do this by editing your ~/.bashrc. I don't know how to
execute a
script on yakuake start, but I suppose that's doable. Try googling this.

With the colour selection determined as described above and with this
script, yakuake now opens the way I want it, in the home directory and
with my colours.

I was not aware of this possibility. I think I was really expecting a
tool bar such as appears in Konsole. Since yakuake does not have one I
I did not believe that yakuake had a context menu. Thanks for telling
me about it.

Indeed. I was able to select my desired colour scheme.
I tried the
following script, called "yakuake-start", in
directory ~/.trinity/Autostart:
#!/bin/bash yakuake --bg black -- fg green cd ~
and unchecked the "restore previous session" option described
above. On log in yakuake started but the colour options were

The "-- fg green " looks wrong. Should be " --fg green ".
Or, did you _not_ copy and paste into your email?
Other than the above, I know _nothing_ about `yakuake`...

I had it as " --fg green " in the script; I did not transcribe it

For how I finally solved my problems see below.
