Raspi Raspbian QLC+ Start at Boot question

[tavonmarkov]

Can somebody, anybody point me in the right direction to help me get QLC+ to start right at boot? I am using Raspbian 8 (Jessie) on a RasPi 2 Mod B.

I have attempted the rc.local edit with adding a "qlcstart.desktop" script that commands a "start.sh" script... and still nothing happens on boot.

My "qlcstart.desktop" runs correctly when I double click it, as it is executable, but if I try to run it within a terminal window, it replies that the command isn't found...

I apologize in advance, I am not a fluent Linux user.

Thanks for the help!

try to start /usr/bin/qlcplus from your rc script.

You can find the exact location by "which qlcplus".

[tavonmarkov]

My QLC+ program is located at
/home/pi/qlcplus

In my /home/pi directory, I have two files I created:
start.sh
qlcstart.desktop

start.sh contents:

sudo qlcplus &

qlcstart.desktop contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=qlcstart.desktop
Comment=Launch QLC+ Application at Startup
Exec=/home/pi/start.sh
Terminal=false
Type=Application

rc.local contents:

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

# Print the IP address
_IP=$(hostname -I) || true
if [ "$_IP" ]; then
printf "My IP address is %s\n" "$_IP"
fi

#Start QLC+
/home/pi/start.sh &

exit 0

When I try to run rc.local in terminal window. I get

pi@qlc-pi:~ $ /etc/rc.local
My IP address is 192.168.1.12
pi@qlc-pi:~ $

--- i then have to hit enter before QLC Starts. If I change the lines after '#Start QLC+' to:
/home/pi/qlcstart.desktop

--- then run rc.local in terminal window. I get

pi@qlc-pi:~ $ /etc/rc.local
My IP address is 192.168.1.12
pi@qlc-pi:~ $ /home/pi/qlcstart.desktop: 1: /home/pi/qlcstart.desktop: [Desktop: not found
/home/pi/qlcstart.desktop: 3: /home/pi/qlcstart.desktop: QLC+: not found
