SUMMARY When I add any application using Autostart then restart my machine, it disappears. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Autostart 2. Click Add... -> Add Application... -> Add any application 3. Close Autostart then open it again. OBSERVED RESULT The added application disappears after closing Autostart and opening it again. EXPECTED RESULT To work as it used to be. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 21.10 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This issue is not new, I noticed it before, but I was expecting it to be fixed in the new version of KDE Plasma.
This works as expected here. What app are you adding?
(In reply to Nicolas Fella from comment #1) > This works as expected here. What app are you adding? Any applications, it does not matter. After I add an application, then check properties, its size = 0b, and I can not remove its entry. Furthermore, when I close plasmasettings and open it again, there is nothing to be found.

I installed Ubuntu 20.10 recently, and I encountered the same issue, then I found out the cause of this issue. The permission of auto-start folder was set as sudo, and I fixed it by changing the permission of that folder. It was a fresh installation, so I do not know what is the cause of this issue.
Appears after upgrading to kde 5.26.2. I add apps to autostart but they don't start. I deleted the ./.config/autostart folder, it was recreated and the added applications appeared there, however, they do not autostart. What logs can I look at in order to understand what the problem is?
Sounds like Ahmed's issue is fixed now, and was not a KDE problem but rather a distro or local configuration problem. Landgraff, you can run `/usr/lib/systemd/user-generators/systemd-xdg-autostart-generator` in a terminal window. It will tell you what's wrong with your autostart files, and then you can file bug reports for systemd at https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues and fix them locally yourself.

Can I somehow trigger the startup event of autostart apps? journalctl -xe does not show any important errors. >ноя 08 22:10:47 Celestia plasmashell[4794]: trying to show an empty dialog >ноя 08 22:10:47 Celestia plasmashell[4794]: Qt Quick Layouts: Detected recursive rearrange.

Since this bug report is closed and was about something else, can you file a new one for your issue? In it, attach: - the .desktop file for one of the app that you expect to autostart, but does not - a screenshot of System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Autostart - the output of `/usr/lib/systemd/user-generators/systemd-xdg-autostart-generator && echo $?` Thanks!
