"gnome tool"?

to start the app in full screen use
Code: Select all
kstart --maxamize application_name

alternatively to use Kwin options see http://www.maketecheasier.com/set-speci ... with-kwin/


OpenSuse Leap 42.1 x64, Plasma 5.x

Why do you install an entire destop environment if you want to run only one application? Slow down startup?
Just ensure to boot into runlevel 5 (or the correct systemd target) and have the application start with X11.
Most X11 clients take a "-geometry <w>x<h>+x+y" parameter, so try "foobar -geometry 1920x1080+0+0" (the maximized or fullscreen hints require a window manager, but you do apparently not)

To skip boot messages, either install a bootsplash engine+theme (shouldn't ubuntu come w/ one anyway?) and/or pass "quit" to the kernel parameters (grub config, exact process depends on whether you're using grub1 or grub2)
