What's in the script?

Does it start with a crunchbang?

[–] zexu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yes

Does the crunchbang point to the right shell?

[–] zexu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yes, i confirmed that by executing just by the name

executed as what user?

maybe a permission thing? what user runs the autostart thing?

[–] zexu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No autostart script is working fine. i have other things there too, waybar, bg wallpaper & everything
