Ubuntu – Disable Auto-start Application

autostartstartup

I couple of versions of Ubuntu ago I setup a program to start automatically when the computer turns on. It is of no use to me at this point, and I want to disable it now. The problem is, I can't figure out how I did it. I've looked in:

  • Startup Applications (gnome-session-properties)
  • ~/.config/autostart
  • ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session/
  • /etc/init.d/
  • /etc/gdm/

Is there somewhere else I might have set it? Or is there a way to trace how a running program was started? Couldn't find anything like that in System Monitor.

Just grep it:

sudo grep -IRF onboard /etc 2> /dev/null

and if unsuccessful

grep -lIRF onboard ~/.[^.]* 2> /dev/null
