startup

livarp startup applications are launched from two file types: your ~/.xinitrc and the 'autostart' scripts placed in your ~/bin/start/*_start.sh.

~/.zprofile

livarp_0.4 doesn't launch x-session by default and let you stay on tty with dvtm if you want.
if you don't need this screen, you can launch directly your session selector with the auto-startx features. to enable this, you have to edit your ~/.zprofile file and comes with a result like this:

# ask for startx
#if [[ -t 0 && $(tty) =~ /dev/tty1 ]] && ! pgrep -u $USER startx &> /dev/null; then
#    clear
#    echo
#    echo -e "${cyan}welcome to ${red}Debian${cyan} livarp system"
#    echo

~/.xinitrc

this file is read by xinit and launch your X interface and some commons apps for the 12 sessions. here you can configure your dualscreen, your touchpad, your startup wall or pass livarp in single-session mode without editing system files.

• dualscreen: all sessions support dualscreen. to make it easier to configure, a little script is placed in your ~/bin/dualdetect.sh (edit and adapt it to your configuration). then uncomment the dualscreen section in your ~/.xinitrc.
• touchpad: for laptop users, touchpad/trackpad configuration is handled by synclient. the tapbutton1 feature is disable by default. to modify *pad behaviour, edit your ~/.xinitrc. more infos? man synclient.
• single session:if you always use the same session, you can edit your ~/.xinitrc to launch this specific session directly without display the session-selector. the file includes this option:

  ## launch single session ##
  ## replace "your-wm" by your favorite window-manager
  #exec ck-launch-session ~/bin/start/your-wm_start.sh
  
  ## launch session selector script
  exec /usr/local/bin/dmenu-start.sh

autostart scripts

the livarp 12 sessions are launched from scripts in your ~/bin/start/ directory.
execpt for the openbox-session that uses its own autostart file (~/.config/openbox/autostart)
and the 'pure-dwm' session that is launched directly after xinitrc.
if you want to midify autostart applications, just edit thoose files. each session have a menu entry to do that.

note that livarp doesn't use regular Pekwm and Fluxbox autostart-scripts, but you can do it as ou want.
note that openbox uses its own ~/.config/openbox/autostart script
