I am trying to debug an issue in my user session. I am running on Ubuntu 16.04 which still uses upstart --user to manage the user session.

My problem is that some process in my user session is starting the ibus-daemon and other programms and I do not know which process is doing that.

When I run pstree I see that ibus-x11, ibus-daemon and other ibus programms are immediate child of upstart --user? Is upstart directly starting these processes and if so, where should I look for the configuration files that cause these processes to be started by upstart?

In Ubuntu, Upstart in user mode reads configuration files from the following locations:

  • /usr/share/upstart/sessions/
  • /usr/share/upstart/xdg/autostart/
  • /etc/xdg/autostart/

You can try deciphering man 5 init if you want more info.
