so I'm quite new and just started using ubuntu, and I've heard about ubuntu being able to remember all my last windows (enabling "auto-save-session" via dconf editor). And no matter how many times I try to enable it, it never works for me, I don't even get an error message. How can I try to fix this?

Currently this feature is not supported in 14.04, seems to be a bug, but there are a few possibilities to work around that function.
desgua wrote a script where you can configure your session manually which worked for me for each workspace by typing the following into your console:
Another possibility is to do:
killall gnome-session
thensudo gnome-session-save --logout
which should save the current session and log out at the same time. It seemed to work for others but not for me.More details in the posting: Save Unity Desktop Session
