Problems starting Dropbox automatically
by Leonard_Linux from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5A16A)
Hello,
I put a dropbox.desktop file in my ~/.config/autostart folder. The Exec-command is Code:Exec=sh -c "/home/leonard/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd"This actually works when entered in a terminal but when I double-click the .desktop file in Thunar, it says it couldn't find the file.
My operating system is Slackware 14.2 and I compiled Dropbox from source. Here's my full dropbox.desktop file:
Code:[Desktop Entry]
Name=Dropbox
GenericName=File Synchronizer
Comment=Sync your files across computers and to the web
Exec="sh -c /home/leonard/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd"
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Network;FileTransfer;
Keywords=file;synchronization;sharing;collaboration;cloud;storage;backup;
StartupNotify=falseThe permissions are
Code:ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 leonard users 324 Nov 5 20:11 dropbox.desktop Could you guys help me with this?
