Autostart does not work in Flatpak version of MEGAsync

Open GiantEnemyCrab opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

In flatpak megasync, "Start on startup" is never applied.

I initially filed in Flatpak repo of MEGAsync, https://github.com/flathub/nz.mega.MEGAsync/issues/2, but I was informed that this should be reported for upstream repo here.

The message I received in that flatpak repo issues was:

Autostart already implemented in flatpak via portals https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/master/data/org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Background.xml

I'm not sure if I set it up differently, but even though the checkbox doesn't stay checked, Megasync is still starting on boot..

That's great to hear but I didn't have success yet, and behavior has been the same with regard to flatpak version of megasync not not starting on login.

Happened today in a fresh Fedora 35 install. A workaround is adding MegaSync it to "Startup applications" of GNOME tweaks (or your DE/Distro equivalent).
