Public bug reported: I have a script that basically does
``` #! /usr/bin/bash sleep 5 thunderbird & ``` and an appropriate desktop file in .~/.config/autostart to run it. Since upgrading from Plasma 5.24 to 5.27 (from the backports PPA), this no longer works. The script is run (added logging, eg. with systemd-cat, prove it) but Thunderbird does not appear. However, it does work if I change it to the following. ``` #! /usr/bin/bash sleep 5 thunderbird ``` So I suspect this is related to how systemd-xdg-autostart-generator runs the associated service. I tried various combinations like ``kstart5 thunderbird & disown``, to no avail. Note this script is an MWE example ; my actual script is more convoluted and needs subprocess detachment to work properly. Plasma 5.24 did not exhibit this behaviour. I do not know if it was using systemd-xdg-autostart-generator to manage autostart. Current systemd version is 249.11-0ubuntu3.12, which is too old to report upstream about.
