after booting into Bodhi moksa desktop,
there's only a quickstart guide telling me that
all I need to do is left-click on an nm-applet icon

but the problem is : there isn't such an icon there.

after some time, I found that if I logout ,
and then login again, using 'bodhi' and blank password,
then, this nm-applet icon appears, and it works.

or, without logout, it works if I execute command 'nm-applet' manually

why?

it's latest 5.0 and I tried in both vmware and laptop

Are you using the live ISO? I note you say log in with blank password.


Anyway that happens to some users. I think it is related to this known issue: Implement X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay


So if you are using the live ISO and BOdhi is not installed and you want to install it. Go ahead and install it and see if the issue persist on an actual install.

If the issue does persist, be sure your system is up to date. Then open with a text editor as root /usr/share/applications/nm-applet.desktop and add the line:

Now reboot and see if the issue persist. If it does increase the delay. Hopefully this will help.

yes it's live ISO. add
X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=60 not work

I did some research on this issue yesterday. It is complex problem and can not be fixed on the live ISO without making another ISO.

when doing iPXE live netboot, it’s easy to change scripts in initramfs,
by adding more overlay cpio initrd image, without making another ISO

where'e the hidden first script to run Midori?

when first boot, there's only a quickstart guide midori, no nm-applet,
and when logout and login again, there's nm-applet, and no quickstart guide midori.

ps -aef showd there's a process: sh -c file:///...quickstartEN
I thought there must be some script to run only once at first boot.
and I want to change that script, to run nm-applet, instead of midori.

tried grep -rI quickstartEN / but didn't find this script,
only a config in /etc/skel/.config/midori

though I didn't know the very script to run midori,
since I dont't want midori to run, and I want nm-applet to run,
so, simply, I changed command 'midori' to run nm-applet, '
and it works!

in /tmp/abc I see midori is called by /init, username is bodhi

I just add some these lines after mount_images_in_directory :

X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay this only work after logout.
maybe ugly, but it works. I just want it to show up in live mode, without logout.

Interesting approach. There is no script to run our quick start guide in midori. This is 'hard-coded' in Moksha to run after first boot.
