Comment 1 David Edmundson 2021-03-15 14:06:03 UTC 
x or wayland?
Comment 2 Kevin C 2021-03-15 14:49:30 UTC 
X11
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-03-15 21:13:26 UTC 
Are you using systemd startup?
Comment 4 Kevin C 2021-03-15 21:54:36 UTC 
I'm using Systemd startup.
Comment 5 Kevin C 2021-03-17 10:17:02 UTC 
I tested same configuration in a fresh Debian 10 instance with
KDE Plasma : 5.14.5
KDE Framework : 5.54.0
Qt : 5.11.3

and it works.
Comment 6 Kevin C 2021-03-17 19:48:09 UTC 
works too in Debian testing with
KDE Plasma : 5.20.5
KDE Framework : 5.78.0
Qt : 5.15.2
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2021-03-17 19:49:48 UTC 
Can confirm that running `ssh-add` via autostart does not work with systemd startup, and does work without it. You're using released packages, so this isn't Bug 427340.
Comment 8 Alex Smith 2021-04-12 10:19:49 UTC 
I also see this after an (early) upgrade to Fedora 34. The ~/.config/autostart-scripts/ssh-add.sh script I had which was previously working on Fedora 33 no longer executes at startup, despite showing in the list in Autostart in System Settings.

However, adding a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart to run a script doing the same thing does work:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=ssh-startup
Exec=/home/alex/bin/ssh-startup.sh
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false

This is using systemd startup (appears to be default in Fedora 34) on Wayland, with:

Plasma Version: 5.21.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
