 Posted: Thu Jul 13, 2017 12:02 pm Post subject: Execute simply command at boot [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I have troubles with my keyboard, AltGr key.
As a workaround i can execute a command manually after system booting.
How can I automate it in Gentoo?
I was trying to create a executeable file with .start extension in /etc/local.d/ but it doesnt work.
The command I need on bootup is simply: | Code: | | setxkbmap -option lv3:ralt_switch_multikey |
How to get execute during boot?
thx

To make it persistent, change it in your selected DE settings.
Or, add the command to your $home/.profile

Entry in bash_profile didnt execute the command
| Code: | # /etc/skel/.bash_profile
# This file is sourced by bash for login shells. The following line
# runs your .bashrc and is recommended by the bash info pages.
if [[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] ; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
setxkbmap -option lv3:ralt_switch_multikey

Put this in the keyboard section of your xorg.conf:
| Code: | | Option "xkb_options" "lv3:ralt_switch_multikey" |

This does, in fact, work so long as:- The local service is in your default runlevel.
- Your /etc/local.d/*.{start,stop} files are executable.

The /etc/skel/* files are placed into the home directory of a newly created user. The existing ones aren't updated. So you also need to update your ~/.bash_profile, if not already done.
Depending on your configuration, the xinit script is loaded using bash... or not. /bin/sh is not /bin/bash. So ~/.profile is better than ~/.bash_profile in your case. And ~/.xprofile is even more appropriate, as you only need the setxkbmap tune in X. |
