Question Autostart a command with crontab

[emilrudolf]

Hi,
In order to fix the sound on my Computer, I followed this guide: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1850439
with the solution:

Spoiler: I've put it in the Spoiler

Before run it, I installed alsa-tools:
sudo apt install alsa-tools


then I run these commands:
sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x500 0x1b
sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x477 0x4a4b
sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x500 0xf
sudo hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x477 0x74


Awesome, the sound is working good now on UX533FTC and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS!


It does not work after rebooting.
So, I created bash script and run it on startup.


1) Create a bash script:


nano fix_sound.sh


#!/bin/bash


hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x500 0x1b
hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x477 0x4a4b
hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x500 0xf
hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x20 0x477 0x74


2) Change the permission of the script you saved
sudo chmod 774 fix_sound.sh


3) Add it to startup


sudo crontab -e


4) Then add this to your crontab:
@reboot /path/to/fix_sound.sh

The sound is fixed now, but the part with cronetab isn't working, so I have to insert the command after every reboot. A Picture of the cronetab FIle is below.
Can You spot what I did false there? I really don't know what I can do different.
Thank you a lot in advance,

Now I know at least, what the Problem is:

I wrote: 2>/tmp/script-fehler.txt behind my comand in the Crontab, and got this as answer:

so the Problem must be with /home/emilrudolf/Downloads/ but I topple-checket it, and the scribt is in the Downloads folder, and the name is also write.

Just a little update: I made a switch to Manjaro and now back again to Pop-Os and the Sound is working fine!
