[Bug 34321] Re: should delete the saved session when unmarking automatic session saving option

[Bug 34321] Re: should delete the saved session when unmarking automatic session saving option
I think that button showed up in Karmic. I personally found it pretty confusing. Of course it is a simple button that just calls the save_session function, but it doesn't fit into any sort of normal user workflow, as far as I can see. I agree that this went from bad to worse, and I took the appearance of that button (along with the lack of upstream response) as a sign that this bug will not be fixed any time soon. FWIW, I would still go my route for a solution; it is basically the same as the workaround. One exception, I would also get rid of the button too. -- should delete the saved session when unmarking automatic session saving option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34321 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 34321] Re: should delete the saved session when unmarking automatic session saving option
Looks like this has gotten worse in Lucid. There is now a fat button to click in gnome-session-properties to store the session (see attached screenshot), but no way to get rid of that stored session. It spawns every time you log in (i tried it two times, then the rm -R workaround) even when Automatically remember ... is NOT checked. ** Attachment added: gnome-session-properties.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48572276/gnome-session-properties.png -- should delete the saved session when unmarking automatic session saving option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34321 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thanks for the fix in #29 there, I was wondering what was going on. So, something is looking for that saved session if it exists, and if so, to use it...instead of checking the setting to see if it's wanted.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project. For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut.

The procedure to delete the saved session is the same as for Jaunty : rm -R ~/.config/gnome-session /saved-session I thought this was a brilliant solution which finally could help me solve this issue with Tomboy. And probably it is, on others' systems. But unfortunately, it failed like other solutions listed here and in other fora (uninstalling Tomboy included). Then I bumped into this page - http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/forums/blogs/adlabs6/80-tomboy-notes- open-login-startup.html - which let me understood why the hell Tomboy was so stubborn: it was the Deskbar-applet which I added to my panel a couple of weeks ago to fire up Tomboy at login. Once disabled the relevant option in the applet preferences, it finally stopped. This worked in my case, so it might not apply to yours.

ok, I think I fixed this, woo! I'm happy that the fix is only 2.5 lines, 2 lines of which are somewhat trivial. I think the fix integrates well. I'm not really sure what happened with the original upstream bug report. I suspect that this bug is not the same as the gnome bug. Plus I'm a noob, so I don't really know what to do.

hmm, I just found a regression with my proposed fix. I block session loading if autosaving session is disabled, but what if there is another way to save the session than through that option? Those would get blocked too.

I can confirm this bug on jaunty. rm -R ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session works as a workaround but is a no-go for usability and new users. This bug is more than three years old and still not fixed. Another point is: The man page of gnome-session is wrong: When saving a session, gnome-session saves the currently running applications in the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnome-session/saved-session directory. But the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset. gnome session saves in ~/.config /gnome-session/saved session which is not mentioned in the man page. -- should delete the saved session when unmarking automatic session saving option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34321 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
