To disable automatic start-up of PathPilot, I think this will work:
Start up into PathPilot.
Press alt-shift-X to get a Terminal window
In the Terminal window, type this command:
Code:
mv ~/.config/autostart/pathpilot.desktop ~/pathpilot.desktop
Note that I haven't tested not starting PathPilot -- I don't know if you'll just get a blank screen, which would be somewhat autoclimactic.
To avoid that, you could create another .desktop file that starts a terminal, something like:
Code:
cat > ~/.config/autostart/terminal.desktop <<EOF
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
Hidden=false
X-MATE-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_US]=Terminal
Name=Terminal
Comment[en_US]=Start a Terminal
Comment=Start a Terminal
EOF
now, after you re-start, you should not see the Tormach program start.
To start PathPilot from a terminal, if you're logged in as operator, run:
