Hi Len,
unfortunately the .desktop file is not good for me.
it is only run after I have logged in, whereas I want my script to be started as
me, but before I log in.
Is there a way to achieve that, without resorting to autologin ?
OK, perhaps a full description of what you are trying to acheive would
help. little bits of info I think I have put together include:
- You will be using a DE at some point.
- You want to be able to access jack after logging in as well as before
- jack is still to be used only by one user
- jack2 is prefered?
- what would jack be doing while logged out I don't know
- should jack continue to run after logout?
(that is do you normally logout and in)
- Is most of the running done by script anyway and loggin in is used
mostly for other things besides audio? Can all audio stuff be done by
command line?
- will jack be used as a device for pulseaudio...
- will pulse run at all? if so will it ever touch the same device as jack
has?
- is your machine using sysv init, systemd, upstart? (upstart is going
away BTW, leaving one to wonder about the future of MIR)
As Jeremy has already suggested have you tried:
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/dbus/system_bus_socket
jack_control start
in the script run by your su user?
