How to keep from running at startup - LXLE OS Help and Support Threads on LXLE forums

pcbrewer

I have installed LXLE 14.04 64 Bit and now every time I
start it Bittorrent Sync and Clipboard Manager start. How can I stop
these from loading? I have looked in my .config/autostart and they are
not there.

This is Lubuntu's bug I tried to warn them about that they swore didn't exist. This started after an update didn't it?

pcbrewer

Yes.

Until there is a real fix do the following

open the run box and enter

pcmanfm /etc/xdg/autostart

check run as root and click ok

open every app you don't want to run at startup using a gedit

add the following to the bottom of the text file

NotShowIn=LXDE;

save, exit and restart.

Fix is in! I'll be pushing the updates through the lxle ppa, check for updates using synaptic or update manager in about an hour.

I just ran the update but it still loads them at startup and now it also loads two network icons in the bottom right corner.

Try removing the nm-applet.desktop file from your .config/autostart directory...

I don't have a nm-applet.desktop file in my .config/autostart directory.

Howdy, Stranger!
