I had it all working already but just going to a locked screensaver after one minute. I will try and get it down using some of the hints given in this thread. I am launching the programs via .desktop files in .config/autostart including the: sh -c "sleep ..." trick I start x11vnc right away I start qjackctl after 15 seconds this launches darkice after startup via a script it also has the patchbay activated to make the wanted connections I start rdairplay after 45 seconds all the best, drew _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
