Ubuntu 25.10 No Longer Includes Startup Applications Tool

posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 27, 2025

Quoting: Ubuntu 25.10 No Longer Includes Startup Applications Tool - OMG! Ubuntu —

Ubuntu 25.10 ships with GNOME 49, and a new version of the gnome-session package. This is what had provided the GUI startup applications tool, making it easy to add custom commands, launch scripts, and daemons and so on on each time you login.

But GNOME 49 makes (many) changes to how sessions are handled, along with deeper systemd integration, and the gnome-startup-applications frontend has been dropped from Ubuntu 25.10 as a result of the upgrade.

Of course, a frontend being gone doesn’t mean the ability to autostart apps on Ubuntu is.

End users who need an app to open at launch can manage autostart apps on from Settings. Open it, go to the Applications panel, select the app you want to start (or stop) from running at login and slide the ‘Autostart’ toggle on (or off).
