Hello,

KDE Menu Editor is starting at bootup.

There is no llink in Autostart.

How can I stop KDE Menu Editor starting at boot?

Thanks

PS Using kununtu 14.04
Firefox 57.0.4

Are you using the 'Restore previous session' or 'Restore manually saved session' ?
Try to boot with the 'Start with empty session'.

KDE4 System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Session management.

With the KDE4 the session management settings are saved to $HOME/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc or $HOME/.kde4/share/config/ksmserverrc.
Does the ksmserverrc has the kmenuedit in it ?
You could rename/remove the old ksmserverrc file. The KDE will make a new clean one.

Thank you for replying.

I have the setting Restore Previous Session so that I can have access to the previous session if I need to reboot.

The ksmserverrc file does have references to kmenuedit, including an instruction near the top of the file to exclude kmenuedit.

I have renamed this file to ksmserverrc to ksmserverrc_old, and will now reboot.

Best wishes

UPDATE

I have just rebooted and the kmenueditor has not appeared and it does not appear in the new ksmserverrc file.

I hope that it does not re-appear.

Out of interest what does ksmserverrc mean, and what does it do?

Interestingly, my previous session was saved even though I renamed the rc file.

The KDE is using text file format for its configuration files. The configuration files have key-value pairs that are placed in groups. The 'ksmserverrc' is configuration file of the ksmserver. The ksmserver is KDE's session manager. I think that the 'rc' ending of the configuration file is coming from 'runtime configuration' -> What does “rc” mean in dot files: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/110 ... -dot-files .

If there is no user defined setting for the session saving the KDE will use the system default.

Thank you for the help.

Your solution seems to have solved my problem
