[Bug 1008395] Re: Shouldn't put entry in /etc/xdg/autostart
Since it appears that this will be changed based on user demand, I will chime in and say random apps should not set themselves to autostart by default. IMHO, this is a bug. Since the author and I strongly disagree about this, I have uninstalled it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1008395 Title: Shouldn't put entry in /etc/xdg/autostart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/psensor/+bug/1008395/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

>I have taken this decision because of the following reasons: > - I have received more questions about 'how to autostart psensor' than the > opposite This motivation isn't enough to make an application start itself at startup. If you believe that some users may like to autostart psensors at startup, let them choose to do so or not during the installation of the package. Please also remember that for each complaint received, there are other 100 users that just grow up frustration and hate for your application, without saying a word. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1008395 Title: Shouldn't put entry in /etc/xdg/autostart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/psensor/+bug/1008395/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1008395] Re: Shouldn't put entry in /etc/xdg/autostart
Just for the note: since the patch is not turning off the autostart but removing the desktop file, it will require the user to understand that they cannot simply use the 'startup application' of gnome and add psensor. They will need to dig into $HOME/.config/autostart and tune the desktop file in order to start psensor at the right stage of the session startup with appropriate wait time.

It tooks me hours to pin down the problem since I thought it was a bug in kdeinit4. As it stands psensor behaves like a malware and if you are an average user it is very hard to find the solution.

The desktop environment should take that responsibility in a way that is consistent for all apps, in one place. At the very least, an app should have an option to launch itself.

I understand that some users might not like this choice. I have taken this decision because of the following reasons: - I have received more questions about 'how to autostart psensor' than the opposite - this is coherent with other similar monitoring applications like indicator-weather - I think that most people installing psensor is to benefit from alerts and a continous monitoring - there is certainly more mono-user usage of Ubuntu than multi-user So, I set this report to 'Opinion' but I will continue to follow it and I am ready to turn off the autostart if I receive a significant number of complaints. ** Changed in: psensor (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1008395 Title: Shouldn't put entry in /etc/xdg/autostart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/psensor/+bug/1008395/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1008395] Re: Shouldn't put entry in /etc/xdg/autostart
Technically it is per-user. The /etc/xdg/autostart file is the default: http://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html To disable it with Gnome use gnome-session-properties (System > Preferences > Startup Applications). This creates a local version in "~/.config/autostart" with "X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false". To make this the default for existing accounts you will have to copy the disabled version it to each user's home directory in the same relative location (and change the file ownership). To disable it for new user accounts, copy the local version to /etc/skel with the same directory structure, owned by root. To remove it completely and keep the change from reverting during updates, use dpkg-divert to create a diversion of the file in /etc/xdg/autostart and delete or move it elsewhere (like the psensor doc director in /usr/share/doc). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1008395 Title: Shouldn't put entry in /etc/xdg/autostart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/psensor/+bug/1008395/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I don't want it to start with system either. I can add it to autostart myself when I want to. At least autostart this should be as option and not system wide but per user.
