Ubuntu 24.04 new install
Gnome, X11, dash-to-panel plugin
I’ve added few apps in my Startup application, but Thunar, Thunderbird and KeepassXC does not start after boot, I’ve tried to add from my desktop and from /usr/share/applications, how can I fix it?
Did you have the same problem with the wayland session?
What does this show?
ls ~/.config/autostart/
Some applications may need a delay until Gnome is fully loaded before launching.
Personally, I use scripts for things like this.
For example, open a terminal and run:
sudo nano ~/.config/autostart.sh
Add this content:
#!/bin/bash
(sleep 5 && thunar) &
(sleep 5 && thunderbird) &
(sleep 5 && keepassxc) &
Ctrl+W to write, press Enter, then Ctrl+X to close
Make the script executable:
sudo chmod +x ~/.config/autostart.sh
Afterwards, add this script to Startup Applications.
Obviously, you can change the order in the script of what you want opening first and the delay, for example 5, 6, 7 or whatever you prefer.

@corradoventu I used Wayland for very short time, I remembered that I had the same problem.
Glad to have been able to help
