Ubuntu – Can’t change startup programs in Startup Application Preferences

preferencesstartup

I opened and changed startup programs in Startup Application Preferences.
Then after reboot the preferences didn't change, they are the same as it was before.
Why I can't change nothing and how to really setup Startup Application Preferences? Thanks.

It sounds like a permission problem, you can try this (from a terminal):

sudo chown [username]:[username] -R ~/.config

If it doesn't help, try to start the "Startup Application Preferences" from a terminal using this command:

gnome-session-properties

You might see relevant error messages there. If the output looks useless to you, you might post it here.
