"you can delete that from the list of startup applications, although I don't think that will solve your problem" OK, I went to Session and Startup > Application Autostart, unchecked Chromium, and rebooted. It still starts. In fact, when I go back to Session and Startup, Chromium is once again checked. Weirdly, if I uncheck it, close Session and Startup, then go back to it, it remains unchecked. However, when I reboot, it gets rechecked.
"Is it going to a particular site?" No, just going to a default startup default page that shows my "Most visited" sites. "You might also want to try deleting everything in ~/.cache/sessions/" Closed Chromium completely by right-clicking on the top bar icon and selecting Exit. Deleted everything from ~/.cache/sessions/. Started Chromium again. Closed it. ~/.cache/sessions/ remains empty. Went back to Session and Startup and unchecked Chromium again. Rebooted. THIS TIME IT'S DIFFERENT! Chromium did NOT come back up after reboot, and the checkbox stayed unchecked. AHA, but I don't think it's related to deleting everything in ~/.cache/sessions/: I closed Session and Startup, loaded Chromium again, and went back to Session and Startup. The Chromium box is re-checked. So looks like something in the Chromium background process is overriding whatever I put here. I do think that is a separate bug. Again, the problem here is that a Chromium _window_ is opening on startup. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1176903 Title: Chromium browser window opens on startup even though I never configured this Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I start Xubuntu 13.04, a Chromium window opens after I log in to my session. I have never configured Chromium to open a browser window automatically. This happened even back with 12.10, before I upgraded the instance to 13.04. Note that this is not the same as #1175601. With the other bug report, the problem is two background instances of Chromium are running at the same time. With this report, the problem is not the background instances but that the browser window opens without me having configured it to do so. What should happen is, by default, the Chromium browser window does not open until I manually open it. I also have a 13.04 Xubuntu instance that I built from scratch. It also has chromium-browser installed, same version as on the machine with this problem. Not only does it not show a Chromium background process in the menu bar on the top right, running "ps xfwww" does not show any evidence of a Chromium background process running, so I am seeing inconsistent behaviors here. (Not sure if that informs this bug; I'd be happy to open a different bug report if appropriate.)
