bash - Run script on login gnome -


i installed cairo dock in gnome , hide/remove standard dash in gnome. followed instructions on cairo website (here). if run code in terminal works run on startup:

dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.shell /org/gnome/shell org.gnome.shell.eval string:'main.overview._dash.actor.hide();' 

i created gedit file code in ~/desktop , set execute permissions. used startup application (gnome-session-properties) run on startup doesn't work. next thing tried add bash in front of path script in startup application gui. no succes either. tried write shell script nano (as explained here):

#!/bin/bash #hide gnome dash  dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.shell /org/gnome/shell org.gnome.shell.eval string:'main.overview._dash.actor.hide();' 

saved script in ~/desktop , add in startup application gui. didn't work. saved script in ~/.config/autostart failed well. on startup dash still there.

i'm new ubuntu , trying learn please clear :)

a shell script named .gnomerc in home directory automatically sourced each time log in gnome session. can put arbitrary commands in there; environment variables set in script seen program run in session.

note session not start until .gnomerc script finished; therefore, if want autostart long-running program, need append & program invocation, in order detach running shell.
