System > Autostart?

[347Online]

I'm looking to configure autostart for my password manager. I was able to add this to Plasma (6) using the GUI, however when I ran rc2nix again A and B were identical.

I wonder if I'm missing something obvious, but is this feasible to address with plasma-manager? Curious what's involved

Thank you for any information you can offer

I'm pretty sure plasma just uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart for this. You can define it using plasma-manager by using something like:

startup.startupScript."start_syncthing" = {
  text = "syncthing; syncthingtray";
  priority = 4;
};

But I won't advise you to do so, since it could cause some issues (see #348), since we do it in a bit odd way, because we do it for running the panel scripts, etc.

I would recommend that you do it yourself with home-manager.

You can add it via the GUI, and then just copy paste the .desktop file content into home-manager. It should look something like this:

plasma-manager/modules/startup.nix

Lines 210 to 217 in d16bbde

	configFile."autostart/plasma-manager-autostart.desktop".text = ''
	[Desktop Entry]
	Type=Application
	Name=Plasma Manager theme application
	Exec=${config.xdg.dataHome}/plasma-manager/${topScriptName}
	X-KDE-autostart-condition=ksmserver
	'';
	};
