Running a Python script on System Startup is usually one of the things people want to do once they get their feet wet in Ubuntu and Jetson Development. Here we go over on how to auto start a Python script on boot on a NVIDIA Jetson Nano. This method works on the other Jetsons as well, like the Jetson Xavier and Jetson Orins. Here’s the script we are working with:

#!/usr/bin/python3
import tkinter as tk

#Create the main window
root = tk.Tk()
root.title(“Startup Script Test”)

#Create a label with a message
label = tk.Label(root, text=”This script runs at startup”, font=(“Helvetica”, 16))
label.pack(pady=20, padx=20)

#Run the application
root.mainloop()

Hope this helps!
