I think we should not post this bug report to the upstream's BTS because this bug only occus on Ubuntu.
Here are some background info. '55gnome-session_gnomerc' is created by Debian and not included in the original tarball of gnome-session, and it perfectly works on Debian. So why it fails on Ubuntu? Ubuntu's 'ubuntu-session' package provides '/usr/share/xsessions/ubuntu.desktop' file that executes gnome-session by the following command line: env GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=ubuntu /usr/bin/gnome-session --systemd --session=ubuntu For comparison, on Debian, '/usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop' simply calls '/usr/bin/gnome-session'. In conclusion, 1) Ubuntu activates /usr/bin/gnome-session in a non- standard way, and 2) 55gnome-session_gnomerc does not expect it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1895781 Title: ~/.gnomerc is not loaded anymore at startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1895781/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
