xdg autostart issues

Last updated 2019-12-24

This documents deals will known issues with xdg autostart.

Non standard folder location

Since UPDD V6 version 397 xdg autostart is used to launch updd daemon process if /etc/xdg/autostart folder exists. If this function is supported by your distribution but is in a non standard location then the daemon menu will not appear after a reboot (following install).

This issue can be resolved by copying the UPDD autostart file to the appropriate location by modifying the install script or running a command to perform the copy.

This issue was first observed on Puppy Linux distro and required the follow command:

cp /etc/xdg/autostart/updd_clients.desktop /root/.config/autostart
