Hi folks,

I'm trying to open a PD sketch on my RPi 3B+, running rasbian 11 Bullseye v11.

I've tried opening the PD file all the ways I know -
rc.local
.bashrc
init.d tab
systemd
crontab
/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

(the latter seeming to work for more people online)

but for the few, including LXDE-pi/autostart, which open pd on boot they all return an error "home/pi/bm83.pd: can't open"

I've tried with & without the 'sudo pd' & 'sleep' lines.

any ideas what could be causing this?

You miss a / before home

Don't you also need the -open flag? Also, why do this as root? Why didn't crontab work? Can you share some scripts you tried?

@FFW thank you! think i couldn't see the trees for the forest; a bit embarrassing, but thank you so much for your help!

@alexandros seems to work fine without the -open flag! was just the / before home i missed.
