[ SOLVED ] Unable to add or remove applications from application autostart

[maxheadroom]

Strange. There is no folder named .config/autostart. There is only a link pointing to /usr/share/applications/lite_welcome.desktop.
In VirtualBox LL there is a folder .config/autostart that contains a number of xyz.desktop - files.

I just made a folder .config/autostart and then deaktivated blueman-applet. A file blueman.desktop was created.
I also made some new starters (e. g. thunderbird), also a .desktop-file was created.

Let's see if it works after re-booting. I have no idea why there was no autostart-folder or why there was a funny link.

Update: Indeed, it was the missing folder that caused this trouble. All programmes start as wanted

I'm shooting in the dark here... but it seems as if you couldn't write to /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.config/autostart

Make sure the folder is owned by YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_USERNAME

Code: [Select]

sudo chown -R YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_USERNAME /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.config/autostart

Greetings

Adding an application to "application autostart" in "session and startup" is declined.
The pop-up window says (translated, since my desktop runs in German):
Error. >>application<< can not be added. Impossible to write into file >>autostart/application.desktop<<
I am also unable to remove an application. When I close the window "session and startup" and reopen it again, the "removed application" is there, again. 

Sorry if I am too far off with my translation above.
