Restart Previous Apps on Reboot

1 Nov
ubuntu karmic koala

Often we need to reboot but find it annoying to have to reopen our work.

Here's how to make your Ubuntu PC recall running programmes and load them when you restart the machine into another session.

(This is also about the shortest blog post I've ever written!)

Navigate the menu:-

Set Up & Enhance Ubuntu 9.10 .. KARMIC KOALA BIBLE

In simple copy/paste steps .. from zero to hero.

Scroll down for the full series index.

Wake up and smell the Ubuntu! Hope it helps. the_guv

System > Preferences > Startup Applications > Options > check Automatically remember running applications when logging out

In future, on reboot or when you start your Ubuntu PC, the system remembers and loads whatever programmes were open the last time.
