There is no handy tool to control startup in GNOME 3. If you want to add a custom command to
startup, you have to create file ~/.config/autostart/file.desktop
manually. This
simple program written in C++ and GTK 3 provides user friendly graphical interface for
startup managing. The program is designed especially for GNOME 3, however it can also be
used in any other desktop environment.
If you are using Debian/Ubuntu, you can install the application from package
For amd64:
wget https://github.com/hant0508/startup-settings/raw/master/debian/startup-settings-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i startup-settings-amd64.deb
For i386:
wget https://github.com/hant0508/startup-settings/raw/master/debian/startup-settings-i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i startup-settings-i386.deb
If you've installed the package, you don't need to build the program from source code, go to usage.
