It looks like I solved my issue. the mailnag configuring tool allows one to choose to start mailnag at startup. ticking that box makes a mailnag Startup entry at both system wide location AND the session start up location. I.E: with Ubuntu-Gnome guis the is a marked entry in the "Start up Applications" which belongs to Ubuntu and works system wide. Gnome Tweak tools "Start up applications" that works for that respective gnome session.
What seem to work for me: FIRST: untick mailnag in the "Start up Applications" program. (this should make an entry for mailnag in gnome tweaks startup application tab if it wasn't there before). then : gedit /home/chris/.config/autostart/mailnag.desktop scroll down and make sure X-GNOME-Autostart-enable is set to true: X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true and save, log out and log in to test --- additionally i added the line: X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=90 at the bottom of the .desktop file which delays mailnags start up for 90 seconds, but that may not be necessary. so far working as expected. -C. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1265914 Title: mailnag regurlarly crash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mailnag/+bug/1265914/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
