GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 760233
startup applications gui overwrites entries
Last modified: 2021-06-14 18:22:30 UTC
When using the startup applications GUI, scripts with the same file name but different paths will overwrite each other. For instance, if I added an entry as: Name: program1 Command: /home/user/scripts/program1/run Comment: program 1 I can exit the startup applications window and everything saves fine. But if I later reopen and add an entry: Name: program2 Command: /home/user/scripts/program2/run Comment: program 2 both records will display on the main menu, but after closing and reopening the window, only program2 will be listed. The record for program2 overwrites the record for program1 when the startup applications window closes, but it looks like it works fine before you close it. If I named my script for program2, 'run2', as in: '/home/user/scripts/program2/run2', both records will be kept. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1531292
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of gnome-session, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-session/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
