RaspPi: need some help with autostart [Linux]

[cluelessgenius]

soo..im trying to build OpenAuto on my pi and so  far so good i finally got it somewhat running when i sudo start it from terminal.

now i wanted to set it to start automatically on startup. ive done so after some googling via LDXE and it does start on startup BUT not as su it looks the same way it does when i start it from terminal manuallly without sudo: no button backgournds nothing works properly.

 

so i know nothing of linux and i need a way to start openauto with elevated rights on startup

do a crontab maybe? Maybe ask on stackexchange for specific programming questions. You get much quicker help there usually.

well you can't run apps with sudo without a password... so that explains why it won't work.

if i wait for the desktop then o into terminal and 

sudo su 

/home/pi/openauto/bin/autoapp

 

i dont have to enter the password once.

no. well kinda.. but if you can use sudo commands without a password then that's a pretty major bug..

Default for raspbian is `pi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL` in sudoers file. This is not a bug.

As user pi:

echo 'sudo ~/openauto/bin/autoapp' >> /home/pi/.bashrc
