Hi, I would like to start “clocks” automatically when I boot my Librem, because if I forget it, the alarm doesn’t work. Does anybody know how this can be done easily?

Assuming you are using PureOS with GNOME 3, the following would work to start the clocks at login time:
- Install “gnome tweak tool” (also known as “Tweaks”)
- Start it then go to the “Startup applications” tab
- Click “Add” and add the clocks application
This will automatically launch the application after logging in.
Launching a windowed application at system boot time is not possible.

Or install a desktop environment like XFCE or Cinnamon, that doesn’t try to hide configuration options like GNOME. In Cinnamon, you can go to Configuration > Startup Applications and select an application or type in a custom command.

sudo apt install gnome-tweaks < if you are on gnome-shell
it has to be possible to do this directly with a terminal command but i don’t know what file is responsible with taking care of programs that have permission to load at boot-time … anyone ?

Noting though that Startup Applications is typically misnamed and is actually handled at login, not boot.
um yeah, that’s what i WANTED to write - login - boot-time processes are typically something else …
Thank you very much, this worked immediately!
