AutoStart TweetDeck during System Startup
i was cleaning up my laptop today. Totally cleared of everything from it and did a fresh install of Ubuntu.
Played around with Gwibber, but somehow did not like it. Couldn’t see it working 20 minutes after configuring and logging. It was showing only one direct message which i had recieved 2 days back. so removed the account in Gwibber. Searched around for some other twitter clients. Chanced upon Tweet Deck. I have seen some of my colleagues us it in office. so thought of giving it a try. It seemed a little confusing at the beginning, but after a while got a hang of it. Then i noticed that it was not starting automatically at system startup. So did it manually.
First i looked around for the command which was launching TweetDeck. Had to add the shortcut under Applications -> Accessories -> TweetDeck to the panel, and then opened the properties by right clicking the TweetDeck icon in the panel. Copied the launch Command from there.
Now i went to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications. I Clicked on Add button and then Pasted the command in the Command text box. While i was there, filled up the rest of the boxes too. And then clicked Add and closed the window.
Well that’s it. From the next time, TweetDeck starts during system startup, so i don’t have to remember to start TweetDeck everytime system starts up.
