Dear Mr. Lefevre, I eventually reached the solution. This email is posted for for all users searching on the topic of lxde and autorun applications, commands and scripts. I studied intelligently. I was led to a conclusion that even a script file in the file rc.local won't help matters, as GUI (xsession) didn't exist at the time. The file /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.serviice doesn't help in this regard. Nonetheless I learnt a few important commands for the future as follows: Check if enabled: sudo systemctl enable rc-local.service Status: sudo systemctl status rc-local.service Start Service: sudo systemctl start rc-local.service Even with a script in rc.local file to begin mousepad, the report from status of rc-local.service was: ... May 17 11:29:09 debianLaptopRajib rc.local[1222]: xset: unable to open display "" ... Your lines were good for GUI applications. But one didn't help in case of commands or scripts. The solution is using the line "@lxterminal -e ~/.config/autostart.sh" in "/home/rajib/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart". But the line "@sh ~/.config/autostart.sh" won't work. Neither would commands with sh. Have SOLVED my current need. Summary: So, in short, ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart would contain @lxterminal -e xset dpms force off @lxterminal -e path/script file @mousepad @claws-mail Thank you, Mr. Lefevre. Thank you, Mr. Brinkhaus, Mr. Nikulin, and all who really considered my queries worthwhile by trying to step in to my shoes to address them using their experiences. Best wishes, Rajib
