# Desktop Session Autoloader in Debian
This package brings to you the desktop-autoloader for your Debian system.
For some info about the general concept, refer to upstream's README.md.
## Auto-Loading the correct Desktop Environment
For taking Desktop Session Autoloader into production, please make sure
/etc/default/desktop-autoloader
is configured correctly. Esp. make sure that the correct desktop
environment gets autoloaded.
## Customizing Application Auto-Loading
Next, please check the .desktop files in the folder
/etc/desktop-autoloader/autostart/. By default, there is only one file
(sleep-and-kill.desktop). Do not remove that file from there.
Additionally, you should place your users' favourite applications in that
folder. Simply symlink them from /usr/share/applications/, e.g.:
ln -s /usr/share/applications/firefox-esr.desktop /etc/desktop-autoloader/autostart/
## Adapting Desktop Session Autoloader to your Site's Schedule
Also consider adapting the time interval of the @reboot CRON job that
launches desktop-autoloader (see
/etc/cron.d/desktop-autoloader
). You need to boot machines (via UEFI Wakeup RTC or Wake-on-LAN) before
the time interval given in the CRON job file. Only then, the
desktop-autoloader kicks in.
Also make sure that the desktop-autoloader does _NOT_ kick in once people
have started using the computers on site. This may vary depending on your
institution.
