[SOLVED] welcome notification

[farjibaba]

Dear Friends

I am using Kubuntu 12.04 LTS. now I want that when I logged in after boot and when I see the my desktop first time (after every boot ) there a message should be displayed like "please Do not Open etc ,,,,," by any mean like Kdialog, zenity or notify-send.

I made a script like

#!/bin/bash
sleep 300s
notify-send " my message"

and save this as message.sh

and I made a entry in /etc/rc.local
/path/to/file/message.sh

but it does not work for me if anybody have any idea please share I think it might be due to root because x-server is not running for the root and the scripts is showing
graphical message which run by rc.local as root

I aslo create .bash_login file in home directory it works but before Ksplash i want it after loading Ksplash

please give me solution

Much simpler would be make script:

 #! /usr/bin/bash
sleep 300 && kdialog --msgbox "Try reading a man page"

Then chmod +x it.

Next: Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Autostart > Add script.

P.S. you don't need the sleep line, it will execute only after the desktop is loaded.

No GUI access? Well in that case just copy the script to "~/.kde/Autostart/" also you should change #! /usb/bin/bash to #! /usr/bin/sh

Now in the same folder create a desktop file e.g. script.desktop with contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=<name>
Exec=sh ~/.kde/Autostart/<script name>

Logout, login and tell me if that helped.
