I was trying to delete Microsoft teams from the list of startup applications but I accidentally deleted something else from the list instead.

I think that the program I deleted from the list was SSH Key Agent - Gnome Keyring. I think this because of this website:

https://www.maketecheasier.com/manage-startup-applications-ubuntu/

In which there's a picture of the list of what seem to be the default startup programs.

I only just installed Ubuntu. My only remaining startup programs in the list are: "im-launch" and "NVIDIA X Server Settings". Did I in fact delete the Gnome Keyring? How do I get it back? When I press 'add' on the list of startup programs, it expects me to provide it with the location of the program that I want to run, but I don't know where the Gnome Keyring program is in the computer. I tried searching for it in usr/bin, but there are a few different files it could be.

Thanks for any help.

  • Use the command history to see your last 1000 shell commands used, in order. Copy/paste the relevant section of that list into your question. We need to see exactly what you did.

Reset to default

"SSH Key Agent" is autostarted by default in an Ubuntu desktop. Therefore, a .desktop launcher is installed in /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop. Such entries are disabled on a per user basis through settings in a copy in your local autostart folder. To enable the item again, delete your local user copy ~/.config/autostart/gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop. To see it appear, you need to quit and restart "Startup Applications" or "Gnome Tweaks" if you used the latter.
