Comment on Ubuntu: Autostart for Empathy IM Client by Brandon

I’m completely new to Linux and this worked great except can someone inform me what an ‘”-h” switch’ is/or how I would use it in this context (so I can hide the contact list but still sign in).

Thanks

I would suggest linking to the .desktop files. That way, when an upgrade changes the /usr/share/applications/*.deskop file (for example new translations are added or something) the /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop file changes automatically!

Also when programs are uninstalled, the link will become invalid. Don’t know if the startup manager picks up on this, but still.

Sure, we see it; and it would work by just adding a new application entry with “empathy” as command as well.

However, since Ubuntu actually HAS a .application for empathy with descriptions in x languages and a nice icon and what not… why not use it? and why isn’t it in the list in the first place?

That is one small but significant detail Canonical has to take more care about when they want average users to adopt Linux on their desktops.

Thanks a lot!! It solved my same problem in OpenSUSE 11.2 with Gnome.

[...] another issue with Net::MySQL (after this one). Why are we using that again? Ah yes, it’s pure Perl and we hate compiling modules. [...]

I also had to update the permissions for anyone read,

sudo chmod a+r /etc/xdg/autostart/empathy.desktop
