Ubuntu :: How To Save Session And Remember Running Applications Between Thems
Feb 1, 2011
I used to use kubuntu last years, but I decide to give Ubuntu a try instead.A thing that was working on kubuntu's KDE by default, is that when you close your session, the system remembers what applications was you using, so in the next boot up they will be open exactly as it was.I would like to have this feature also on my Ubuntu 10.04, but I've been not lucky searching for the option to enable it.

anyone's got around to trying the "remember currently running applications" feature in gnome? It has previously been reported buggy. Users who made their system "remember" their currently running apps were unable to make the system "forget" these.

I just upgraded to Natty (11.04) and I want to get my Ubuntu to remember what last windows I had open after I logout and then login.
Due to reasons beyond my comprehension, hibernate and sleep do not work, and I prefer to use shutdown anyway.
I am using Unity and have not changed much of the default environment. I found plenty of guides for 8.04, but the Unity change has moved a lot of things around.
Is this possible, and if so, how do I do it in 11.04?

I'm ssh'ed into a machine and logged in as a different user. Is it possible to open a few new windows that will still be ssh'ed into that same machine, still logged in as that user?

I have a few questions related to the 'Save Session for Future Login' option you can check (and is checked by default) when you go to shutdown/restart/etc.
1) What exactly does checking this option and shutdown/restarting do?
2) Is there any way to have it unchecked by default?
3) Is there any way to completely remove the option?

I haven't installed ubuntu but using it from my Pen drive. The major problem I am facing is I am not able to save my current session. For example I will download and install a couple of software like 'WINE', 'java plugin' and other useful software for me, but when I shutdown everything is lost and I get a new copy of OS on my next start-up.I can't install a copy ubuntu on my hard disk as I have only single partition on which windows is running.

Where has the possibility to auto-save session on logout gone in 11.04? Or even just save a session at any point?It has been filed as a bug on URL... but I fear it has been (re)moved on purpose..

after the upgrade to maverick, gnome-session-save doesn't save applications on shutdown or logout as it did on Lucid.I've noticed the following things:
On Lucid, if I had a stopped job in a shell, the system refused to logout or shutdown, showing a confirmation window. On Maverick, the CPU goes to 100% and then the computer shuts down; on reboot, no application is saved
On Maverick, if there are NO stopped jobs in a shell, I can logout cleanly but only a few applications are saved (eg. terminal, firefox) but others aren't (eg. empathy,evolution) I've checked "Automatically remember application on exit" in "Session management" menu.

I'm running Karmic 64-bit and Kate 3.3.90.I have been splitting up a very large (16,000 lines) text file by copy/pasting bits of it into smaller files. I had about 40 of these smaller files loaded into a session along with the large file. About 20 were from a previous day of editing and about 20 had been added (and saved) today.
I tried to save the file I currently had open and Kate crashed. I didn't think it was that big a deal until I reopened Kate and all of the files I had added today were gone!!I've looked in the folder and even the backup files that should have been there for files I'd saved more than once are not there.

i am trying to install ubuntu 9.04 on quite a few computers. all the computers need the same applications that i already have, as well as settings such as panel shortcuts and color schemes. there are no files like music or pictures, just applications already installed. i have all this on a bootable flash drive. all settings are saved. if i install from the flash drive will the settings transfer to the computer i am installing it on? if not, is there another way to copy all settings and apps or do i have to manually install everything on each computer?

Last week my ubuntu 8.04 os got a Seamonkey browser update ( 70-80MB totally )which I was happy to get. The down side is the new seamonkey wiped out all of my many different profiles and the many different bookmarks that were in those profiles ( 300-350 or so )!I am wondering, and hoping, that there is linux software program available that could independently hold many easily available bookmarks!!Does anyone know if such a program exists and if they have had any experience

Anyone else encountered this issue? Alacarte opens and seems to be working properly however it will not write any changes to the "applications" panel. if I un-check, edit or remove any listing under Alacarte it is still in the applications panels. I ran it in a terminal window under both home user and root, not errors, and sitll will not save changes or revert.
I don't know if anyone else has experianced this. This may have started after the installation of wine, but not ceartian about that, that is just when I first noticed the issue.

=> "Automatically remember running applications when logging out" is no longer existing because of bugs with multiple sessions. Is there a way to enforce this option, even if it is bugged with multiple sessions? My system has only 1 user and I miss so much this feature.

I'am using gentoo linux. After some system's updates VirtualBox stoped loading any virtual machine with error:
Code: Failed to open a session for the virtual machine. Virtual machine has terminated unexpectedly during startup.
Details:
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Machine
Interface: IMachine {99404f50-dd10-40d3-889b-dd2f79f1e95e} Kernel log
Code:
So, i've rebuilded all VirtualBox dependencies with safe flags, then i've recompiled most of the sys-* packages also with safe flags. However VirtualBox still doesn't work.
UPD: virtualbox-bin-3.1.4
UPD2: 3.1.6 and ose-versions crashes with same errors

I have both a mac and ubuntu box sitting on my desk. I work on the mac and access the ubuntu box over ssh.Often I need the point-and-click interface of the ubuntu box, at which point I run gnome-session. The problem is that the top and bottom menu bars fill the full size available to them, which can cause me problems (I use two different-sized screens and the barsget hidden), and overall it looks very messy. I would therefore like to confine the gnome-session to a window, much like you get with vnc (or parallels if you're running a virtual ubuntu session).

When I logout Gnome session, the whole system reboots. I found this command, "gnome-session-save --kill", it restarts the system, too.That's what is happening with two of my Dell destops(CentOS 5.6). How could this happen?

System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications -> Options -> Remember Currently-Running Applications I have Skype added to the startup applications list. This works fine. After doing the above, two instances of Skype are starting up every time - and I have not checked the "Automatically remember ... " checkbox. I could not find a way to undo this. After doing the above again, three instances of Skype are starting up every time.

i need to build a pc, that allow to everyone to use it, and that does not "save" nothing (a guest volatile session)
i see the xguest package, looks good, but has 2 big problems:
1) seems not possible to customize the session (eg: modifying the home), and this one is not so a big one
2) is impossible to choose a localization: with the fedora login screen it is possible to choose the localization only after clicking on thje usernname, but using xguest, if i click on the username starts promptly the session
so i'd like to ask if is there any workaround for have that "volatile" and better if customizable home i thinked , IF possible to copy an home folder to /tmp (if possible and use the /tmp instead the home during the session, obv with enough available ram) OR copy a home from a user to the"GUEST" one at the start (boot, or login), then delete it at logout or turning off the pc

Is there an entry in System->Preferences that corresponds to the session preferences in older Fedoras? In particular is there a way to save the current session so the same programs open up when I log-in again?

My University gives us access to a Linux server, named stud1.
Code:
me@stud1:~$ uname -a
Linux stud1.some.univ.ac 2.6.9-89.31.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Mon Oct 4 21:41:59 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Apparently I was logged in, and never logged out sometime:
Code:
me@stud1:~$ who
<snip>
me pts/37 Jan 30 13:27 (6.6.66.66)
<snip>
me pts/58 Dec 30 19:13
but when trying to find out why I'm still logged in, I can't find it:
Code:
me@stud1:~$ ps faux |grep me

me 30033 0.0 0.0 51132 2336 ? S 13:27 0:00 \_ sshd: me@pts/37

how can I logout this unused session?

I frequently access my home computer throughout the day in two ways: either locally, or remotely using nxserver/nxclient. As one user, I have two concurrent X-windows sessions running, possibly with different applications running in each. Is it possible to move a running application from one session to the other? That is, I want all the active windows related to the app to disappear from one desktop,
