I am trying to find a way to open a terminal and run a program on boot using Raspberry Pi's newest Raspbian Jessie. I have tried to use the following:
/home/pi/.config/autostart/whatever.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=[whatever.desktop]
Exec= lxterminal -e [Application python3] [home/pi/Raspberry_Pi_sample_code/i2c.py]
Hidden=false
Terminal=true
This just gives me a big blank terminal that I can't do anything with. Any advice would greatly appreciated. *Please also note that I have very limited experience with python and linux. Thank you.

is the latest version of Raspbian. It's been out for about 18 months now. – Seamus Jan 7 '19 at 23:45Jessie
