Starting the server

After configuring lyricue's interface, you should start up the server:

Starting the server manually

By default there is a menu item under "Applications" labeled Lyric Server Click this to load the server. If such a menu item is not available open a terminal, drag it to your second monitor and type lyricue_server. Keep the mouse on that monitor until lyricue is up and running since the windowmanager will place the lyricue window on the screen where your mouse pointer is. A more long-term solution is creating a shortcut to lyricue server on your second monitor, pointing to /usr/bin/lyricue_server

Start the server automatically.

It is a good idea to have lyricue_server load automatically when the user logs in. This might be easier for unexperienced users. How this is done depends on your desktop environment.

Generally you can edit ~/.xinitrc and add display=:0.1 /usr/bin/lyricue_server & to just above where your desktop is loaded (generally just above the last line) and then lyricue_server will automatically run on the second screen (for when you are using xinerama) when you login.
