[Lubuntu-admins] [Bug 1687231] Re: Error enabling Xpad autostart



This is an unsupported release now. Please think to install the next LTS
'Bionic 18.04'

Title:
  Error enabling Xpad autostart

Status in xpad package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
  Ubuntu 16.10

  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
  4.8.0-1

  3) What you expected to happen
  No error message. "Start Xpad automatically..." option checked. Autostart in next session login.

  4) What happened instead
  Error message. "Start Xpad automatically..." option unchecked. No autostart in next session login.

  
  In Xpad Preferences -> Startup tab:
  Checking the "Start Xpad automatically after login" option brings up the following error message:
  "Error enabling Xpad autostart
  Could not copy /usr/share/applications/xpad.desktop to /home/$USER/.config/autostart/xpad.desktop
  Error opening file '/home/$USER/.config/autostart/xpad.desktop': No such file or directory"

  Upon inspection in my system there's no /home/$USER/.config/autostart
  directory, and since it's a fairly recent OS install I'm assuming it's
  not created during install.

  Both "mkdir /home/$USER/.config/autostart" and "ln -s
  /home/$USER/.config/upstart /home/$USER/.config/autostart" solve the
  issue, so I guess Ubuntu or xpad package need to be patched.

  Cheers,
  Eneko
