Auto Enable on Restart

[Chromagram]

Hello,

Am I safe in assuming that restarting the Steam Deck for any reason (including software updates) disables the script and requires re-enabling it in the Konsole? It seems to work smoothly until I do have to do those random restarts, but standby seems to be okay.

That asked, is there a way the script can always enable itself (with user permission enabled first) upon a power cycle? Considering you have to go into the desktop mode to get it running each time, it'd be nice to just let it fire up by itself.

I guess the same happens for every steamdeck update ?
Maybe the reboot topic could be solved with adding a line to "crontab -e" : @reboot /bin/bash curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scawp/Steam-Deck.Auto-Disable-Steam-Controller/main/curl_install.sh | bash ?
I'm not so sure and haven't tested....Just suggesting and would be happy to have @scawp's opinion on that.

Just to chime in, yes, updates are included in this issue. If the Steam Deck has to fully power down in any way- system reboot, system update, or shut down, you have to go back into Desktop mode and re-enable the script for it to work again.

For further clarification, it looks like switching from Game Mode to Desktop mode does not constitute a full power down, so the script does stay running when doing this.
