How can I have transmission start automatically when I open my computer?

Question

I will like to ask how I could select the last record by user in MySQL?

The following is my query string - which obviously did not work:

SELECT *
FROM (SELECT * FROM team_notes where `username`='$username')
ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 1

Solution 1

You have a little program called "startup applications". If you open that (open dash and search for startup and you will see it). Add Transmission to that and you will be set.

When you first open the program, click add, and browse for the app: it is in /usr/bin, in other words the root filesystem then usr, then bin. Hit the first item with a single click and hitT to jump down to the T's. A file named "transmission" will be there, that is what you want to add.

Solution 2

1. Open Dash (hit Win/Super key by default). Enter Startup Applications then hit Enter
2. Click Add, enter name Transmission, enter command transmission-gtk -m, click Add.

You've done it.

What ID are selecting on? Is that really what defines "last" in this context? What is it doing and why is that "obviously did not work:"? What were you expecting?

That worked fine but now the program opens in full screen. Is there a way to open it minimized or better yet on the tray. I want it to run so as to upload and download but as a backround program and only lanch manually.

try adding --minimized after the entry to start transmission in the start-up menu. I found that here: trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/1002

Tried usr/bin/transmission-gtk-minimized and usr/bin/transmission-gtk-m also with one - and two -- but nothing works. Its either on fullscren or not at all. Also tried to associate it with Cuttlefish but I get the same result.

I tested it, it works. The command is actually: /usr/bin/transmission-gtk --minimize. There needs to be a space between the k and the --minimized. I restarted and transmission is started and sits in upper right on the panel along with my dropbox icon and clock and all that sort of stuff :) I am running 13.10 with the Unity desktop.

There is no option "--minimize", it is indeed "--minimized". You can try it on a terminal window.
