autostart-generator
This is what is generated by the autostart-generator. This is exactly the same as what is generated on Kubuntu. However Kubuntu works with the lack of quotes while neon does not. Debian 12 with KDE Plasma 5.27.5 also works but it generates with the quotes.
Neon and Kubuntu = ExecStart=:/opt/Mullvad-VPN/mullvad-vpn
Debian 12 = ExecStart=:"/opt/Mullvad-VPN/mullvad-vpn"
My previous comment contains an error - it should read: Neon and Kubuntu = ExecStart=:/opt/Mullvad VPN/mullvad-vpn Debian 12 = ExecStart=:"/opt/Mullvad VPN/mullvad-vpn" My previous comment contained a - rather than a space between Mullvad and VPN. I got around the problem by adding the - to the folder name and in the desktop file. Thank you for your bug report! However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/01/2023 and also has not received any updates since before 01/01/2025. Unfortunately KDE neon no longer provides updates for anything older than noble 24.04 based edition's. Please upgrade to KDE neon noble and if you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report. Thanks for understanding! |
Created attachment 160612 [details] logfile SUMMARY Mullvad VPN fails to autostart. This works on Kubuntu, and debian with Plasma desktop. The problem is that Mullvad VPN is stored in /opt/"Mullvad VPN" and autostart apparently is ignoring the quotes. Mullvad VPN starts fine when started by clicking the desktop icon. The logfile that I have attached shows that /opt/Mullvad could not be found. My .config/autostart file contains the desktop file which contains the following line Exec="/opt/Mullvad VPN/mullvad-vpn" %U. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Try to autostart Mullvad VPN 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
