LinuxMint 17.2. Can't open autostart settings
Hi!
Today I updated LinuxMint to 17.2 version. All works fine, but unfortunately the Apps autostart settings is not opening by mouse click.
Is there any method to make to work Autostart settings?

Which version of Cinnamon is installed?
Re: LinuxMint 17.2. Can't open autostart settings
Open a terminal and run
See if you are getting any errors. If so let us know what they are. The startup applications module was rewritten in Cinnamon 2.6.
Code: Select all
cinnamon-settings startup

Ok, if you're feeling brave and wouldn't mind helping with a bit of troubleshooting, grab this file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/718 ... startup.py
Navigate to wherever you downloaded it, open that location in a terminal and run
Then run it again from the terminal.

Could you do me a favor? When you run from a terminal it should list the .desktop file(s) that aren't loading properly. Could you post the output and maybe pastebin the contents of the files that aren't loading properly?
Also be aware that a Cinnamon update will overwrite the changed file. I'll try to get this fix in before the next update though.
