so, I did again minimserver/bin/setup, the desktop integration was already disabled and the automatic startup is enabled.
but it doesnt start automatically!

As you can see in my first post, there is no minimserver running:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ minimserver/bin/stopall
Checking for running instances of MinimServer...
No MinimServer instances are running

Yesterday I did a completly new installation (debian wheezy) of my raspberry. There is/was no way to start it automatically.
Before this, minimserver on my "old" raspberry worked free of errors and automatic start also worked.
Perhaps it has to do with this?

thanks

Automatic start should work with Debian wheezy. I've tried this on a SheevaPlug but not on my Raspberry Pi. I think MinimServer might be starting automatically and the startup might be failing.

Please try doing the following:

1) Make sure your current directory is the parent directory of the 'minimserver' directory
2) Run the command minimserver/bin/setup and disable automatic startup (you will be prompted to enter your password for sudo)
3) Run the command minimserver/bin/setup and re-enable automatic startup (you will be prompted to enter your password for sudo)
4) Reboot the Raspberry Pi
5) After the reboot, check the files minimserver/data/minimserver.out and minimserver/data/minimserver.log to see if there are any error messages

Hi,
I did this:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ ls
Desktop minimserver python_games
MinimServer-0.8.1-linux-armhf.tar.gz ocr_pi.png
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ minimserver/bin/setup

MinimServer desktop integration is disabled
MinimServer automatic startup is enabled

this is the message of minimserver.out: (looks similar in minimserver.log)

It does not start automatically.

Now I tried to uninstall:
