/.kde/Autostart "file not found" for bash scripts
Greetings
I'm a bit confused about how to use bash scripts in the /.kde/Autostart folder. I've tried a few different ones and they all have the same problem which is that upon booting I'm greeted with a dialogue that says "file not found."
I started off with a simple bash script to set up samba shares and I thought that perhaps part of the problem was that it required root priviledges. I changed users and groups from a regular user to root, but that didn't change anything. I also tried putting the actual script in another folder like the desktop and just running a link to it from the /.kde/Autostart folder, but that didn't work either.
Next I tried putting in a script that didn't need root. I used one that started the cli version of streamripper. It works from the command line no problem, but in /.kde/Autostart is won't go. I can also see that by clicking on these scripts in konqueror I get the same message. I'm sure this is a simple oversight of some baic knowledge on my part and I would be delighted to know what I'm missing.
