Steps to reproduce: 1. Delete ~/.config/autostart if it exists (or move it if you want to retain its contents) 2. Open gnome-session-properties in terminal 3. Add an entry What should happen: 1. gnome-session-properties should happily create the folder ~/.config/autostart and add a new .desktop file to it What actually happens: 1. gnome-session-properties fails to create our new .desktop file and spits out the following error: ** (gnome-session-properties:6053): WARNING **: Could not save /home/chr1s/.config/autostart/firefox.desktop file If you manually add ~/.config/autostart before you try to add the new session entry, then it works. ~/.config/autostart isn't present on a fresh user profile ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- gnome-session-properties fails to create entries if .config/autostart is missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258145 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
