Autostart won´t work

NewUser2020

I am trying to mount Pcloud drive at startup by use of Autostart in the Budgie Desktop Setting. I can mount the drive manually in the terminal with this command that works fine: rclone mount PDrive: ~/pCloudDrive --allow-non-empty --vfs-cache-mode full &
But nothing happens when I add this command to in @Autostart? I have tried to add "sh" in front of the command, but the system won´t run the command when I start the computer?

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

NewUser2020 You can create a script and make a .desktop of the script to run it as an application in the autostart.

pomon

echo -e '#!/bin/bash\n\n~/pCloudDrive --allow-non-empty --vfs-cache-mode full &' >> ~/.config/autostart/pdrive
chmod +x ~/.config/autostart/pdrive

Thanks. I tried it but it didn´t work.

pomon

Check the command in the file because I don't think I added all of it
cat ~/.config/autostart/pdrive

rm ~/.config/autostart/pdrive
echo -e '#!/bin/bash\n\nrclone mount PDrive: ~/pCloudDrive --allow-non-empty --vfs-cache-mode full &' >> ~/.config/autostart/pdrive
chmod +x ~/.config/autostart/pdrive

Should be OK

Thanks a lot for your help pomon but it won´t run. Permission is ok so it should execute and the script is also correct. Can't figure out why. I found another solution: I download the app image from pcloud.com and it works fine.

Your real question seems to be what is the correct syntax and command to cut and paste into the Autostart GUI command box...https://www.fosslinux.com/42796/how-to-auto-execute-linux-startup-scripts-and-commands.htm
---this article offers a lot of variations, behind the scenes sudo mkdir moves, and concludes with the enabling of new services in systemctl. Nothing solus specific but may give you ideas.
Another thought is there are recent threads about inability to mount shares sometimes whether it be usb or cloud. Often an fstab thing. There's a way to get what you want, but it's all ruling stuff out at this point.
