    Knowing that the environment is finicky, I made sure to only use absolute paths to all files and executables.

    But thanks for the hint.

      What are you using as a Desktop Environment? Certain with DEs the Autostart programs need to be added in the config file.

          According to the Arch Wiki you need to place the .desktop file in:

          ~/.config/autostart/*****.desktop
          

          You also need to add the following line to the .desktop file:

          X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
          

          But that’s probably the hard way to do it, I think the settings panel should also have a Startup Application tab.

            Thanks for looking that up. That’s where my desktop file is located. And it has the X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true line. The settings panel does have a Startup Application tab, and that’s what I used. It created the .desktop file in the appropriate location.

              Check your journald and/or make your script log it’s actions.

              Script > ~/script.log

                Thank for your help. Upon looking at it again I noticed the one filepath that relied on my profile being loaded. Corrected that. Works now.
