Autostart problem (won't run)

bonezzzzzzzzzzz · 2012-09-11 04:22:52

Greetings,

I was messing with my autostart file, adding a few things, and it stopped working. Well, first it would only start like 6 out of the 12 things that I wanted it to, and then when I tried to revert it back to the original it stopped running altogether. In the terminal when I run it I get

"./autostart: line 38: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
./autostart: line 38: `) &'"

I looked at line 38, and I don't think that I messed with it at all. (It's the line right under the command that starts tint2) What I've been looking around for and not finding is the default autostart file for #! 11.

Also, here is the contents of my autostart file in case someone sees that it's easily fixable (but it doesn't really matter that much since I already tried to put (most) everything back to how it was in the original).

## Openbox autostart.sh
## ====================
## When you login to your CrunchBang Openbox session, this autostart script 
## will be executed to set-up your environment and launch any applications
## you want to run at startup.
##
## Note*: some programs, such as 'nm-applet' are run via XDG autostart.
## Run '/usr/lib/openbox/openbox-xdg-autostart --list' to list any
## XDG autostarted programs.
##
## More information about this can be found at:
## http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Autostart
##
## If you do something cool with your autostart script and you think others
## could benefit from your hack, please consider sharing it at:

## Have fun! :)

## Set root window colour
hsetroot -solid "#2E3436" &

## Group start:
## 1. nitrogen - restores wallpaper
## 2. compositor
## 3. sleep - give compositor time to start
## 4. conky
## 5. cairo-dock
## 6. tint2 panel

(\
nitrogen --restore && \
cb-compositor --start && \
sleep 2s && \
conky -q && \
cairo-dock && \

) &

## Enable hot corners

## cb-welcome - post-installation script, will not run in a live session and
## only runs once. Safe to remove.
(sleep 10s && cb-welcome --firstrun) &

## cb-fortune - have Waldorf say a little adage
#(sleep 120s && cb-fortune) &

Sorry, I can't find anything wrong with that... maybe someone else will spot it?

Anyway, the default user files should all be in /etc/skel so the openbox autostart file should be at /etc/skel/.config/openbox/autostart

here's a link to (perhaps) an original - yeah there's obvious differences around line38 when compared to the one in the link

http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/245019/#p245019

would have thought an original autostart would be in skel somewhere.

[Edit] perhaps . . . etc/skel/.config/openbox/autostart.sh . . . ???

[Edit 2] note to self : read other replies b4 posting

johnraff - Thanks, I'm checking there currently.

And indeed it was there. I just replaced it, hopefully things will work after loging out/in again.

gurtid - Right on, thank you for that.

The good: almost everything starts up like it should.
The bad: for some reason conky doesn't start on startup, even when using the original autostart. I checked the file, it's in there like it should be, but for some reason doesn't start. When I ran it from the terminal I got this error (and then it started):
"gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /home/bonez/.cache/keyring-ocHEOZ/pkcs11: No such file or directory
"
