Yes, I know I buried the lead. I could have just started with the Ubuntu solution. But we’ve both learned a little something about tildes, filepaths and autostart folders. Sometimes the search is more revealing than the solution (got that from a fortune cookie). The biggest benefit, of course, is that you and I got to spend quality time together, John.

Pardon? Oh, you don’t agree. Well then. I’ll just be on my way.

On other pages in this magazine, you’ll find command line solutions to your problems. But the command line is the deep end of the pool. I’m here to hand out floaties and water wings until we’re all ready to use the diving board. If you can use Ubuntu, then you’ll continue to use Ubuntu (also got that in a fortune cookie - the cook was a sys admin).

Hopefully I’ve shown you that stuff like this is totally doable. If I can do it then a bag of hammers can do it. Not that I’m calling you a bag of hammers, John. My answers here are designed to instill trust and confidence in users like you and me who may not think we’re capable of doing this stuff, but, turns out, we totally are!

In all seriousness, John, we appreciate your question and hopefully you’ve been able to play along at home and get your Rainlendar calendar to autostart. If not, let me know (I’ll have Swithins give you a call).

Best of luck, John!

Am I alone? Anyone else out there know how to summon the command line but fear its voodoo? Or maybe you get tired of answering the same questions over and over for new users. If so, contact me at [email protected]. I’ll try to answer simple questions, or point out helpful beginner advice from the perspective of someone who loves Linux and Ubuntu but doesn’t speak source code.
