Public bug reported:
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System ->
About Ubuntu
Ubuntu 16.10
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or
by checking in Software Center
4.8.0-1
3) What you expected to happen
No error message. "Start Xpad automatically..." option checked. Autostart in
next session login.
4) What happened instead
Error message. "Start Xpad automatically..." option unchecked. No autostart in
next session login.
In Xpad Preferences -> Startup tab:
Checking the "Start Xpad automatically after login" option brings up the
following error message:
"Error enabling Xpad autostart
Could not copy /usr/share/applications/xpad.desktop to
/home/$USER/.config/autostart/xpad.desktop
Error opening file '/home/$USER/.config/autostart/xpad.desktop': No such file
or directory"
Upon inspection in my system there's no /home/$USER/.config/autostart
directory, and since it's a fairly recent OS install I'm assuming it's
not created during install.
Both "mkdir /home/$USER/.config/autostart" and "ln -s
/home/$USER/.config/upstart /home/$USER/.config/autostart" solve the
issue, so I guess Ubuntu or xpad package need to be patched.
Cheers,
Eneko
