It's a straightforward bug: the package does not behave as described. Here's a suggested fix: replace the following text:
- Saved session: if you have saved a session, it is located in ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session/. You can enable automatic session saving or manually save it in the "Startup Applications" configuration applet. with: - Saved session: if you have saved a session, it is located in ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session/. Automatic saving and restoring of the session is currently not reliable (see bug #771896), and has been disabled in Ubuntu. To enable automatic session saving: dconf write /org/gnome/gnome-session/auto-save-session true To re-enable automatic session restoring, set the environment variable GNOME_SESSION_SAVE somewhere that is read by your display manager's Xsession script (for example, in ~/.profile for gdm). (Note: as far as I'm aware manual session saving is no longer available. As you can see, the name "GNOME_SESSION_SAVE" is an unfortunate choice, as it actually controls whether the session is restored, not whether it is saved.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1037616 Title: Please document current behavior as per #771896 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1037616/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
