You can add commands there. You may want a delay in front of the command (no idea, myself.) It should be pretty self-explanatory.
Yes, a delay seems like a good idea. I would probably want something that acts on bluetooth, pulse audio, or both to wait until that/those thing(s) is/are fully loaded until IT loads (or, in this case, runs?). I wonder how many seconds would be best for a delay value? Would 20 seconds be enough, do you think? The little bluetooth icon usually appears within ten seconds after my desktop's background image finally gets around to loading, but I do not know when the clock starts ticking for these kinds of things - and, altogether, it takes quite a while for everything to settle in and down after the bare "blank gray slate" desktop starts to appear.
I hope that menu option you mentioned has a handy setting for the delay value, so I don't have to guess at the syntax (delay=20 ???) .
BtW, that bluetooth panel application loads probably nine out of ten times, but approximately one out of ten times it never makes it to the panel. Would having this
Code: Select all
pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover
command in my autostart recipe cause me any problems when that one time out of ten happens? Perhaps I would be better off NOT adding it to the start up.

THAT is the solution! I should have thought of that, even with my personal issues. That's how I manage to do a

pactl
is used to issue control commands to the PulseAudio sound server.
So I guess you could add
pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover
to
/etc/pulse/default.pa
and the module should get loaded at startup.
Hmm... Perhaps people who have trouble stepping onto curbs should not attempt to free-climb Everest. OTOH, that probably works great for people who understood what you typed (or at least were pretty sure of what language you typed it in
).
