Hello everyone, this is my problem:
Instead of using the XBMC session (standalone) I want to use the XBMCbuntu and autostart XBMC when starting (so if i want to close xbmc and, for example, open a browser, it's easier.

So what i'm trying to-do is to autostart xbmc everytime i log in the xbmcbuntu session, i search the forum and google (i'm not linux savvy, and was only able to do this in the openbox session (creating the file ~/.config/openbox/autostart), for now this "solved" my problem.

anyone knows how to do the equivalent on the session XBMCbuntu?

I found some tutorial that do this by change non-user files (outside of ~) but i'm sure there is a solution in user space.

Thanks in advanced!

The script /usr/bin/startxbmcbuntu is run when you start the XBMCbuntu session.

nice. but surely there is a way changing only files inside the home dir, no?

your desktop is LXDE. Therefore put a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart (I had to make that directory.)

Complete instructions

Code:

cd
mkdir .config/autostart
cp /usr/share/xsessions/XBMC.desktop .config/autostart

seems to work here.

Googling lxde autostart found it pretty quickly.
