X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay supported in Solus?

Velophil

I am trying to delay the autostart of a program called "Barrier" (Mouse and Keyboard sharing application). The ~/.config/autostart file looks like this but it starts immediately on bootup anyway:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Barrier
Comment=Keyboard and mouse sharing solution
Exec=barrier
Icon=barrier
Terminal=false
Categories=DesktopUtility
Keywords=keyboard;mouse;sharing;network;share;
X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=25

I need the program to delay autostart because my network connection needs to connect to my VPN provider first. This takes a few seconds. If I do not delay autostart of Barrier I get an error message because Barrier could not retrieve the local IP.

I don't know if that is supported. But if it wasn't supported I would know a workaround. Make a bash script with just sleep 25 && barrier and run that script instead of barrier directly.

I assume you're using budgie. I would suggest adding a autostart command instead of selecting a program to start. sleep 5 && barrier so it waits 5 seconds then starts barrier
