I want Chrome Browser open a window by every computer start. There is the file ~/.config/autostart/google-chrome.desktop where I can change option

Exec=/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --no-startup-window by removing --no-startup-window parameter. After first reboot it works as expected, a new browser window is open automatically. But after next restart, the file google-chrome.desktop always returns to its default state.

What can I do to edit this file permanently?

Thanks

Hi could you please explain what you want? Do you want Chrome to start automatically each time you log in?

ASAIK Chrome Browser is starting up each time I log in, thanks to the file~/.config/autostart/google-chrome.desktop. What I want is to permanently remove the --no-startup-window parameter, because I want Chrome Browser not only start at log in but also open a new window, so that I won't have to do in manually.

You can try setting the file as immutable.

edit/save your file to your liking, and then run


sudo chattr +i filename
change filename to the actual path and file name.
This will make the file unchangeable, hopefully.
