It's very easy to set up autostart AFTER Xwindows is running if you use the XFCE desktop.
XFCE has a specific menu to control auto-starting stuff.
Topic: How to autostart miner in linux? (Read 1096 times)
I'm trying to have my miner start from a script on start up on a linux 14.04 system (I haven't been using linux very long). I'm trying to use /etc/rc.local to run it, but nothing happens. I think maybe because rc.local tries to run the script before everything is booted up? I tried using "sleep" in the script to give it more time, but that didn't work either. Any idea how to get this to work? 
it's very easy
go to /etc/init.d
copy some file to a new filename and implement inside what you want
then go to: /etc/rc2.d, /etc/rc3.d and /etc/rc5.d
add symbolic link to your script:
ln -s ../init.d/yourscript S06yourscript
then reboot
P.S. you can see how to do it - in KopiemTu:

I am use the XUbuntu 14.04 with auto-login.

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.9.4
Type=Application
Name=miner
Comment=miner
Exec=/home/user/start-miner.sh
OnlyShowIn=XFCE;
StartupNotify=false

It's too complicated of setting up auto start in linux.. Windows is a user fiendly for miners especially win10 x64
Run
type : shell:startup
copy the file or program you want to start on startup
