If you want a desktop icon press lxshortcut -o /home/pi/Desktop/sktopĪnd tell the wizard the path to your startjd2.shĪs a conclusion: If you have enabled auto login into a LXDE session (through configuration of the inittab, an automatically starting VNC service or just by enabling “Boot to Desktop/Scratch” when running raspi-config) in combination with auto starting JDownloader, you will end with an nearly headless JDownload server. Nano ~ /.config/lxsession /LXDE/autostartĪnd put this line into this usually empty home/ pi/ jdownloader2/ startjd2. Set the correct permissions afterwards: chmod 755 /home/pi/jdownloader2/startjd2.sh Java -jar /home/pi/jdownloader2/JDownloader.jar

With the JDownloader init command in it: #!/bin/sh To autostart JDownloader together with a specific user’s LXDE session, create this script in your preferred users home nano /home/pi/jdownloader2/startjd2.sh Also following startups won’t be that fast but remote control works fluently once JDownloader was started. The initial startup will take a longer time. With this command JDownloader starts, retrieves updates and so on. It is already possible to start JDownloader with the command: java -jar /home/pi/jdownloader2/JDownloader.jar Or (for testing purpose) just connect your Pi with your screen ?

You could for example use a automatically starting VNC server session like I explained here. That is because JDownloader needs features of an active LXDE environment, it won’t work as a headless service. If you typed the last commands within a SSH connection, it is now time to change into a desktop session based terminal before starting JDownloader. Since newer versions of Raspian ship with the more or less original Oracle Java package and libraries like 7zip-JBinding, it is much more comfortable to set up a JDownloader2 installation and run it on a Raspberry Pi.Ĭreate the directory, JDownloader will work in: mkdir ~ /jdownloader2ĭownload the JDownloader starter file: wget Grant remote access to the JDownloader2 instance.Run a JDownloader2 instance that automatically starts when a desktop session is established.Take care of it, if you like to set it up for another user. The complete setup is meant to be used as the user pi. PrintThis article covers a step by step how-to dealing with the setup of JDownloader2 on Raspberry Pi.
