I use Ubuntu 11.10 and I have to start skype manually every time I log on. Is there a way to run automatically run skype at boot time? I prefer GUI but console is ok too.

correct this is a duplicate - I've changed the title from 11.04 to unity to make this more applicable to both natty and oneiric – fossfreedom♦ Nov 15 '11 at 16:16
@fossfreedom Add an edit to the answer to show that on 11.10 you can directly choose startup apps, instead of going to settings. – Bruno Pereira♦ Nov 15 '11 at 16:23
Sorry, I tried searching this site before asking question but didn't find anything. Thanks. – Иван Бишевац Nov 15 '11 at 16:46

Click on the cog well on the top right corner of your screen and choose Startup Applications..., click on Add and on the name field write Skype, on the command field write skype.

Log off and back in and skype should be loaded.
