Anybody running Linux on their cab?

8. User can set their emulation software to automaticaly launch when OS starts (ideally after initial setup no keyboard or mouse will be available in an arcade machine)
just modify the initrc file and add a simple line like "gxmame" or the front end you use


Can Someone please explain this a bit more. I have Ubuntu and GXMame (atm), and would LOVE to boot right into it. I am a Linux n00b, but I am trying!

Thanks!

Are you using KDE ?

I use Fluxbox, so to start GXMame, i have to add this line in to filename --> /home/wires/.fluxbox/startup
nohup gxmame > /dev/null  &


Fluxbox starts faster than any other GUI i have seen, i currently have Fluxbox and XFCE4.. i will build my cab with XFCE4 since it's more like KDE, but with less stuff to stress on..updates are very fast since there's not many files. Right now my main GUI is FLuxbox..XFCE4 gives you the option to auto-start applications for you, no file edits needed.

It shouldn't matter which GUI you're using though, just edit /home/wires/.xinitrc and add something like.. /usr/games/bin/gxmame &
