sorry if I didn't describe the problem much clearer. after installing ubuntu 15.04 version, I configured my cairo-dock to launch on system startup but it seems not to work. I always have to call it from the application menu any time the system restarts. It was not like that on the previous version. Any possible advice will be nice. – nana Apr 25 '15 at 07:33

there is no output with ls ~/.config/autostart command but ls -l .config/autostart produces Total 0 output. – nana Apr 25 '15 at 10:41

Run this command:
ls ~/.config/autostart– TimThere is no output with that – nana
Run this command:
ls /usr/share/applications/ | grep cairo– TimThe output:
cairo-dock-cairo.desktopandcairo-dock.desktop– nanaRun this command cp /usr/share/applications/cairo ~/.config/autostart/ – Tim
The issue was the launcher wasn't in the autostart folder. If this ever happens again, use the last two commands - just change cairo to a word from the name of the program that isn't starting. Command 2 is optional, but is sensible to check what you are copying.
