  • To setup an autostart launcher, check this – Francesco Gusmeroli Jul 17 '17 at 13:55
  • most if not all gtk programs will require a desktop environment. Which is why it does not work from the command line but does from a terminal window. You need to launch your program using a method which does not run until the desktop is loaded, and you should probably boot to the desktop by default in that case. – Steve Robillard Jul 18 '17 at 02:02
  • so , opening an image using python from command line is not possible? – SRKP Jul 18 '17 at 05:17

this worked for me. Open a terminal (not in super user mode), write: gksudo and when a windows open write "lxterminal" from root. Then a new terminal will open and from there run your program.

Good luck!
