Whiteboard

The Ubuntu Studio Startup Script is a script run at every login in user space. At first login user is presented with options on how to configure the system. Choices are stored in Home. Then, the script checks the system at each login if it works well with for what the user has selected at first login and notifies the user of any problems, unless the user decided to not get notifications.
