Ubuntu
firefox-3.0 package

On login, file browser window displays automatically

Asked by John Rose

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I did system>preferences>startup applications. There is no mention of "nautilus".

There is a bug in Nautilus (as documented in this Debian bug report http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=532799). However, the Debian bug report appears to say (from messages #30, #35, #40 & #45) that it will only be rectified by removing the "5,RestartCommand=nautilus" line from .gnome2/session. However, I have no .gnome2/session file. Catch22!

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better.

If you check in:

system -> admin -> startup applications

make sure it is not listed there (it will be named Nautilus)

Also if you click the options tab and uncheck "Automatically remember running applications when logging out" and reboot then you should be ok.

actionparsnip,

I'd already actioned the points in your answer: they made no difference.

if you run:

cd ~/.config/autostart; ls

What is the output?

looks innocent enough. If no one helps then I'd log a bug. Those are the only places I can think of for startup apps

Can you help with this problem?
