[SOLVED] Post-Install Script location

I decided to give the Carbon version a shot, but I feel like something is missing from my installation. When I first booted into a fresh system it greeted me with a terminal window with BunsenLabs specific text and prompt that some questions will be asked to fine tune the installation. However, my system decided that this is the best time to freeze and I had to do a hard reset. On next boot, the post-install script is no longer running automatically. How to run it manually, i.e., where to look for it?

Re: [SOLVED] Post-Install Script location

You should be able to just type "bl-welcome" in terminal and it will run the welcome script.

Re: [SOLVED] Post-Install Script location

The file 'bl-welcome' is in the hidden ~/.config/bunsen folder in your home folder (Ctrl+h in Thunar to show/hide hidden files, or from Thunar's main menu under "View"). When ran and completed it also creates bl-welcome-understood. bl-setup can be run to recreate the default BL configs, IIRC. Running 'bl-welcome' in a terminal is described in the first paragraph...  'If you do not want to run this script now, you can run it at a later date with the command "bl-welcome".'

Marking this thread [SOLVED]. Thanks for being a forum member!

Slight correction here:
~/.config/bunsen/bl-welcome is created the first time bl-welcome is auto-run (even if  exited part-way through), so the auto-run only happens once. 
~/.config/bunsen/bl-welcome-understood is created when $user responds "OK" to the Awful Warning about non-Debian repos etc so the message doesn't get repeated every time.

Re: [SOLVED] Post-Install Script location

@johnraff, more than a slight correction!

To answer the original thread title then, and correct me if I'm wrong, the file location for the "Hello!" script is /usr/bin/bl-welcome
