Multiple Terminals

When you need to run multiple foreground tasks, one terminal may not be enough. Click the plus button in the top-right corner to create more terminals, and switch between them there. To close a terminal, click the plus button and then click the close button to the right of the terminal index.

Switch Between Android and AidLux Desktop

In Settings, check whether AidLux is set as the home screen app (enable this if you want AidLux to auto-start on boot; disable it otherwise). After disabling, you can flexibly switch between Android and the AidLux desktop environment, as shown below:

Configure Boot Auto-Start Services

Open the terminal and check the /etc/rc.local configuration file. Add services that should auto-start on boot to the rc.local configuration as shown below.

cd /home/aidlux/openai_service_aidlux
sudo -u aidlux python3 run.py
