How to autostart up .sh in Plasma

[Serguey]

Hi, everyone. Can you please help autoexecuting the command for resetting DeadZone to 0 for Thustmaster t150?
evdev-joystick --evdev /dev/input/by-id/usb-Thrustmaster_Thrustmaster_T150RS-event-joystick --d 0
I tried to change .txt format to .sh but it didn’t work. It was saying about bin/bash issues (in russian)

Did you try making the file executable with the following command with bash? Assuming the .sh file is called script.sh:

chmod a+x script.sh

[Pudge]

Launch “System Settings”. Then go to “Startup and Shutdown”, then “Autostart”

Click on the “+ Add” button and then “Add application”

Click on the icon to the right of the entry field, then navigate to your script.

Can you show the full script?

[Serguey]

Thank you for your reply. I inserted it . No output

How can I show the full script?
chmod a+x evdev-joystick --evdev /dev/input/by-id/usb-Thrustmaster_Thrustmaster_T150RS-event-joystick --d 0
I only have this now

[Serguey]

At last.
I found the solution!
i only had to insert #! /bin/sh yo save file as .sh
I’m exWindows user and thought it was enough to only change the tag as a file format

[cameron]

Great that you solved it! You can also use #!/bin/bash instead, as I think most distros like sh to bash.

And yeah, I was a Windows user too! Welcome aboard!

A short rant about #!/bin/sh

I’m really annoyed by it. If you pick at random a dozen or so shell scripts in your /usr/bin directory that start with the interpreter designation of #!/bin/sh you will find at least a few of them that use Bash-specific syntax (“bashisms”). And often, it is something as stupid as using [[ "$string1" = "$string2" ]] in situations where a perfectly valid POSIX command like [ "$string1" = "$string2" ] would suffice. People who do that deserve to be devoured by a giant frog-monster. On a typ…

[Serguey]

Aaah, perfect. Thank you. I’ll stick it to my mind. I had to abandon Manjaro because it used zsh instead of sh or bash. In Mint Cinnamon was no problem at all with that “script” even without #!/bin/bash/sh but OS seemed to be unsmooth to me. This OS has a great potential. And Plasma is just marvelous!

I had to abandon Manjaro because it used zsh instead of sh or bash.

That’s not correct. Manjaro uses Zsh only as the user’s default shell. It still uses Bash for everything else, just like Arch (and EndeavourOS). If you didn’t want to use Zsh, you could have simply changed you user’s shell with chsh.

That said, there are other, more valid reasons to abandon Manjaro, so I am glad you are here.

[Serguey]

Yes, I did that procedure. But all the same got the error. Of course if I knew about that wizard string I woul have probably stayed with Manjaro but… I wouldn’t have met this OS:)

@Kresimir

Could you roll them out please?

[Kresimir]

I could, but I’ve already said them many times on this forum, so better not repeat myself. Here are some links:

What do former Manjaro users like about EOS?

What I like about EOS is that it is pretty much identical to vanilla Arch, apart from having an additional repo with a handful of useful scripts and utilities, and a much nicer live ISO image than Arch. And it has a nice forum. That means that, unlike Manjaro, the default installation of EOS comes free of much of the bloat and “malware” like snapd. Though, to be fair, it’s pretty easy to debloat Manjaro, and Manjaro also has a nice install, live ISO images, user friendly tools and scripts, and …

Manjaro to EndeavourOS experiences

I still like Manjaro, even though I decided to stop using it and convert all my machines to EndeavourOS (and it could have been vanilla Arch, too, there’s little difference, which is one of the reasons I like Endeavour so much). I genuinely think that Manjaro is the best distro currently in existence. It has most of the benefits of a pure Arch system, but also curated and well-maintained repos that make for a very low-maintenance, low-effort system. Sure, Manjaro’s default installations are a b…

Manjaro is at it again (shipping proprietary software by default)

An application as sensitive as a web browser should not be proprietary be default. I would argue this is worse than the FreeOffice fiasco, since FreeOffice is not a web-browser, so it does not have to be entrusted with handling so much sensitive data… I don’t want to speculate since I do not have any access to inside information, but there is, in practice, only one reason why they would ship a proprietary application by default, instead of a fully functioning free software alternative… I have …

Is aur down again?

Probably not, but they’ve already DDoS’ed the AUR at least three times (that I remember), and I remember that Pamac was blocked at least two times from accessing the AUR by the Arch maintainers (a ban which was soon lifted). Asking Pamac users to “AUR responsibly” is just silly. They are not going to stop, just because you’ve asked nicely. In fact, they are very likely not even going to understand what you’re asking of them, for if Pamac users were able to follow simple instructions, they woul…
