raspbian

just got a RP3,

pretty fun so far, haven't used linux or anything so bit of a learning curve.

curious if anyone else on here is using these?

 

fixed my hdmi audio problem, and kodi exit black screen, now working on getting terminal to autostart

 

Auto start? To automatically open on the desktop? Or to auto log in?

 

Open on reboot

 

What desktop are you running?

 

raspbian

 

I thought raspbian was the distro?

 

raspbian jessie


o.o

forgive me im a scrub

 

Looks like the default desktop is lxde, and lxterminal is the app you want to automatically open.

Use nano to edit lxde's autostart file:

Code:

sudo nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

add the line @lxterminal, and then hit ctrl+x to save the file.

 

[ Error writing /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart:No such file or directory

 

found it, thanks to your help

~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

 

All of my frustrations have been fixed so far by switching to openelec instead of raspbian

Only a few hours into openelec but so far ok

 

I haven't played with either Raspbian or OpenELEC. The only time I've played with Linux on an Arm device was Debian on a couple Android phones.

 

OpenElec is OK, have to run SSH to get into terminal now but that's OK. Hopefully I won't have to change many things once I get everything running. Considering buying another rpi3 to play with. Amazing what people do with them
