How to create startup scripts in Ubuntu?
You need to install necessary software and configure your system before starting your Linux box. This typically involves setting up a desktop environment, installing essential packages, and ensuring proper permissions.
did you attempt sudo -i then add it to your crontab? at the moment the settings show a single star (*) with five stars total.
Two different startup apps for this query:

2. An alternative method or application suggestion related to the topic
Hey! The idea from deXxterlab97 seems most accurate, though some of the other suggestions might not apply in all cases. There are different methods to launch programs or scripts when the system starts. I’d think about it this way: System-wide start-up options Per-user or per-login setups Crontab doesn’t fit into either group; instead, services like crond are part of the first category. This matters because certain tasks shouldn’t run before a user logs in. Linux and most Unix systems are designed for multiple users. If you put preferences meant for a single user in system-wide files, they might not work at all or could be ignored when the user logs in. Also, other users might find it annoying if they don’t want the same settings. So, for your situation, set the commands to run under your desktop environment when you log in—like /etc/rc.d instead of crontab. This avoids issues with X.org needing to run them and respects user preferences. The method you use depends on your desktop environment (KDE, Gnome, etc.). Crontab is useful for scheduling jobs at intervals, not necessarily at startup, and running it with sudo can affect permissions. Using “* * * * *” will trigger the program every minute, which uses minimal CPU but isn’t a clean solution. According to the man page, you can also use “@reboot”, but it might not work if crond runs before the GUI appears.
yes you can add it to crontab with @reboot at startup. ubuntu will run the code after every boot. you might execute a script using sleep 100, which means it waits 100 seconds before running and appends & sign to the cron command. this ensures your task executes once everything starts. i don’t think any moder pc requires such long wait times just to begin.
