5 years ago The autostart directory did not exist, either before or after checking the option.
Creating the ~/.config/autostart directory before pkg install guake and toggling autostart in preferences does not solve the problem either.
All attempts were run under the root user.
Manually creating the following guake.desktop file makes Guake autostart; however, toggling the autostart preference still does not impact the file, and continues to be unable to change the startup state.

4 years ago Hi,
the option does not work on Ubuntu 19.10 - when I tick the "Start Guake at login" and relogin my user, Guake is not started. There is no entry in ~/.config/autostart.
When I use an Ubuntu "Startup Applications" to set Guake to start on login, everything works as expected and guake.desktop file is created in ~/.config/autostart
edit: forget about what I wrote above. When I make install from source everything works as expected, so it looks like some kind of ubuntu/debian package problem
Guake Version: 3.4.0 (latest from pkg) Platform: FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p2, xfce desktop manager
Start Guake at login option under Preferences>General appears to be nonfunctional. Manually executing guake in a terminal after login does successfully start guake however.
