How can i run a python script at startup with xubuntu 15.04? I want to run a script that reminds me of things,like backup,buying thing,calling somebody. I already have the script,i just need it to start at startup. (Python 3.4) As far i know, xubuntu 15.04 uses systemd. All the tutorials i found,are for init.d or upstart. I need one for systemd

  • Does your script print on the terminal or does it open its own windows? Do we need to start a terminal automatically for it once xubuntu shows you as logged in? – Paul May 11 '15 at 18:10
  • It opens it's own window (made in tkinter) so no terminal neded – Pentagon98 May 11 '15 at 18:13
  • OK but you definitely need X Windows running, so don't stick it in `/etc/rc.local` as is. You can play games with forking a subprocess that sleeps for a while on the gamble that X will be running by then, and stick that in `/etc/rc.local` but there is a cleaner way to do it, probably in that answer about Gnome. – Paul May 11 '15 at 18:14

  • Oh yeah, you are right. – Paul May 11 '15 at 18:15
  • @jonrsharpe xubuntu has XFCE in it, not Gnome. Care to reopen? – Paul May 11 '15 at 18:16

  • Ok,found the answer, Configuration/Systemsettings/Session and Startup. Thanks @Paul – Pentagon98 May 11 '15 at 18:25
  • You can always post a self-answer. Others might benefit. – Paul May 11 '15 at 18:27

Found the answer. You have to go Configuration/Systemsettings/Session and Startup, and add the program.
