Startup application doesn't save my changes.

[Matteo_Martinelli]

Hi guys,
I tried to add some applications to "Startup application" but when I closed it, the application disappear.
Now, there is just one record: Indicator.

How can I fix it?
Thank you.

Is there a .desktop file for the added application in ~/.config/autostart ?

[Matteo_Martinelli]

No there is nothing! I googled and I found that for every application should be one .desktop file. After adding one application I think the Startup application doesn't create the .desktop file.

One further information:
1. After ls ~/.config/ the color of autostart folder is red with gray background (I don't know the meaning of this color)

[CantankRus]

What are your permissions for the ~/.config/autostart directory?

[Matteo_Martinelli]

After ls -al ~/.config/

[CantankRus]

Does that mean you have an autostart directory owned by root that links to /usr/bin/chrome?

[Matteo_Martinelli]

Yes, I simply deleted the autostart folder and create one another and all comes back to work properly. SOLVED

[CantankRus]

Yes if you delete the ~/.config/autostart folder another will be created when you add an entry to Startup Appliations.

Ok, you can mark the thread solved by going to your first post....
