As for how the start up works it puts a desktop file containing
Name=RemoteDroid
Comment=Control your PC from your Droid Phone
Icon=remotedroid.png
Exec=java -jar /usr/share/RemoteDroid/RemoteDroidServer.jar
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false
In /etc/xdg/autostart
you should be able to make your own by going to session and startup and pressing the add button.
Hope this enough for you. I have to do a reformat then I'll get to your sound issue.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
OK, been poking around the web for the last couple of days on how to get remote droid to a) start at autologin and b) minimize at startup.
How did elementmypc get RemoteDroidServer to do start? I'm tinkering with devilspie to minimize it but so far my efforts have been for naught.
Any ideas?
it would probably help to state what it is that I'm doing:
Cd ~
Wget http://remotedroid.net/RemoteDroidServer_v1.5.zip
Unzip –j RemoteDroidServer_v1.5.zip
(it will unzip 3 files, one of which is RemoteDroidServer.jar)
Java –jar RemoteDroidServer.jar
Initiate at startup:
update-rc.d RemoteDroidServer.jar
(init.d will not let me place RemoteDroidServer.jar in its subdirectory nor will it allow the script I've tried)
chmod +x RemoteDroidServer.jar
Minimize to background using devilspie:
sudo apt-get install devilspie
mkdir ~/.devilspie
Create a file called ~/.devilspie/RemoteDroidServer.ds and paste the following
lines:
(if
(is (RemoteDroidServer.jar) "RemoteDroidServer")
(begin (minimize) )
)
Someone smack me on the head and tell me where I'm messing up.
Sorry, I didn't realize that remotedroid didn't come packaged as a deb from the site.
You have to install the java6 JRE but you can get the original deb from here

Friendly bump…
Sorry, I thought I answered your question. You can install the deb to get it working or you can rig up the shortcut file.
Sorry the friendly bump was for the sound issue. You stated:
