Restore Session

[CaperAsh]

I used Save Session on exit and logged out. Then I logged back in. Cannot find any way to restore the session nor anything in Help Manual.


Some threads online say this is no longer possible with 16.04. And yet there is a menu item in Lite Tweaks to 'Manage Save Session'. I opened that but already have the default option activated and didn't change anything. (enable save session for all users)


Please advise; thank you.

It does work in Linux Lite 3.4 just fine. To make it work, save all your work before proceeding...


Open Terminal and copy and paste the following:

Code:

cd ~ && printf "xfce4-session" | tee .xsession && xfce4-session-logout --logout

Login again, open few apps and logout enabling the "Save session for future logins" checkbox.


If you wish to clear the Saved session, browse to Settings => Session & Startup - Session tab => Clear saved sessions button.


Hope this helps. Cheers!
