A temporary workaround is to go manually to ~/.config/autostart/ , copy any of the .desktop file to a new file, and edit it, to fit your needs. Example, to launch pidgin (put this content into ~/.config/autostart/pidgin.desktop) :
[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Name=Pidgin Name[fr_FR]=Pidgin Comment[fr_FR]=Lance Pidgin “Messagerie Instantanée” Comment=Lance Pidgin “Messagerie Instantanée” Exec=/usr/bin/pidgin X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true -- gnome-session-properties alerts "the startup command cannot be empty" whenever I try adding an autostart program https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
