[Bug 154685] Re: [Gutsy Final Release] System Preferences Sessions is broken!
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in gnome-session. For future reference you might be interested to know that a lot of applications have bug reporting functionality built in to them. This can be accessed via the Report a Problem option in the Help menu for the application with which you are having an issue. You can learn more about this feature at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance. ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None = gnome-session ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- [Gutsy Final Release] System Preferences Sessions is broken! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154685 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 154685] Re: [Gutsy Final Release] System Preferences Sessions is broken!
This bug is still present in Hardy 8.04.1 - this is pretty embarrassing, isn't it? To have a bug like this, with basic functionality not working through 2 major releases? I had a set of apps starting up at one point in time, and was never able to remove them via System - Preferences - Sessions - Session Options tab - Remember Currently Running Applicatons button. I've clicked the button with NO running apps, logged out and back in, and the same set of old apps kept starting up. The only thing I found is that 'rm ~/.gnome2/sessions' is a workaround. Hardly a fix for a feature that's been around for so long in Gnome/Ubuntu, with a nice GUI and all. Why isn't anyone paying attention to things like this? -- [Gutsy Final Release] System Preferences Sessions is broken! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154685 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 154685] Re: [Gutsy Final Release] System Preferences Sessions is broken!
I was having the same problem. I went to ~/.config and noticed that autostart was a file, not a directory. A made a copy of the file, removed autostart and created a directory named autostart. This seems to have fixed the problem for me. I can now add startup programs and they will stay in the list. The contents of my autostart file were: [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Screenlets Daemon Exec=/usr/local/share/screenlets-manager/screenlets-daemon.py X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true Name[de_DE]=Screenlets Daemon I didn't create this file on my own. My best guess is that somehow the screenlets install changed this file. I'm somewhat new to Linux, hopefully this helps. -- [Gutsy Final Release] System Preferences Sessions is broken! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154685 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 154685] Re: [Gutsy Final Release] System Preferences Sessions is broken!
Another update... I redownloaded the screenlets package and looked at their makefile. install: python setup.py install cp desktop-menu/screenlets.svg /usr/share/icons cp desktop-menu/screenlets-manager.desktop /usr/share/applications cp desktop-menu/screenlets-daemon.desktop $(HOME)/.config/autostart I'm guessing that there should be a / after the autostart. Since I'm new to Linux I played around and realized that if the directory doesn't exist, it will copy the file as the name of the directory. If the directory does exist, it will copy the file into that directory. I tried running this line again now that autostart exists as a directory and it worked fine. The screenlets-daemon.desktop file exists in the autostart directory as needed. I can report this to screenlets.org but it also looks like a fix should be put in for Ubuntu. It seems like the directory autostart should be created and left empty.

[Bug 154685] Re: [Gutsy Final Release] System Preferences Sessions is broken!
I can't confirm this. I'm using a new installation of Gutsy, with my /home directory preserved. However sudo gnome-sessions-properties will not allow you to add startup programs for your user, instead it seems it will add them for root. This is why you do not see entries added with sudo reflected in your own gnome-session-properties. Also, /usr/share/gnome/autostart will affect all users on your system. Did you upgrade to Gutsy, or perform a fresh install? Did you use Feisty? Did it work for you then? Check the folder: /home/yourusername/.config/autostart there should be a collection of .desktop files. Is a file added when you add it with the session properties manager? If you type the following in Terminal: watch ls ~/.config/autostart/ then you will see an automatically refreshing list of files in that folder.

Shouldn't this be marked as high or critical since you cannot add anything to the startup of Ubuntu while this is broken? -- [Gutsy Final Release] System Preferences Sessions is broken! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154685 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I figured out a work-around to get by for now... If I make a launcher and put it in /usr/share/gnome/autostart , it will add it to the Startup Tab of the Gnome Sessions Manager. -- [Gutsy Final Release] System Preferences Sessions is broken! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154685 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
