Hello all, this is an urgent plea, as I need to set up a laptop for slideshow at an event by Tuesday. I have a USB stick with Slax installed from Universal USB installer. And I created a command to start feh with appropriate image folder (using the folder "slideshow" from the root of the USB stick) and options. The thing is, I need it to run automatically when the machine boots. I don't care whether the desktop is visible first or not, I just need it to work. I want to press the power button, it to load slax, and slax to auto launch feh for the slideshow. I have already tried to get help from ChatGPT (this quickly ended up going nowhere). I have the command currently in the ~/.config/autostart.sh file. and the file is executable. Any help is appreciated!
