Pop!_OS applications start more efficiently
Pop!_OS applications start more efficiently
Hello everyone. I want to admit any errors I might have made, as English isn’t my first language. Over the past few years I’ve switched between various Linux distributions. I’m roughly at an intermediate level—most issues I run into are resolved with a little help from Google. Recently I built a new PC and switched from Windows to POP!_OS. I managed to set everything up without too many headaches. I don’t like RGB lighting, but I got a case with ARGB fans, so I decided to give it a shot. I used Open RGB to adjust the settings and set a profile that changes colors based on CPU temperatures. However, it doesn’t automatically load when I power on the machine. I opened Startup Applications and added Open RGB as my startup program using the command "openrgb -p myprofile.orp". When I turn on the PC, the profile only appears briefly (based on the CPU temperature at that moment) and doesn’t update. I tried just running "openrgb" itself, which seems to work without issues—profile loads properly and everything functions correctly. The biggest frustration is figuring out how to start Open RGB minimized so it doesn’t pop up when booting. Is there a way to add a command with "openrgb" that will make it start in a minimized state? I searched online, but all the results suggested different scripts. I’m hoping for a simpler solution since I’m confident there’s one that fits my needs.
Typically commands should include minimized or console options. You can locate GitHub details for that package with more info. For automatic startup, you can use systemd services—create a file and set the command line; usually after typing --help it displays additional commands. Examples are available on Google. Once enabled, you can start openrgb.service with systemctl, and if you make mistakes, check status with systemctl. There are other methods, but this is the only one I know right now.
The most effective method for keeping programs running in the background as a service is clear. Even my reliable IT colleague faced challenges. Once you grasp it, you'll retain it. You can duplicate various services, adjust them, and trying that approach may be simpler. If you're considering this, feel free to ask me—I'll do my best to help.
I was on the verge of writing that I discovered the answer using 'openrgb --help'. I attempted it yesterday, but it seemed to be a missed opportunity. Thanks a lot!
I misunderstood your request. Please clarify what you need help with.
