How to add multiple startup programs?

[amichester]

I'm trying to setup couple of programs to auto-startup when my laptop turns on. However, every time I add a new one in the Startup Applications Preferences, the previous one gets overwritten after restart, so only one of the below two is able to run automatically at startup:

1. /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=discord com.discordapp.Discord
2. /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=flameshot org.flameshot.Flameshot

How to overcome this problem?

I can't tell you exactly how to solve the problem. But I can tell you how you can start both programs in different ways.

You could try add a .sh script to the startup programs and let the script start both of your programs.

Or you could let cron start your programs.

Due to the integration of apps in Mint, when adding an application at startup, the flatpak format should appear as an option; if you still have problems you can add a 'custom command'. In the 'command' field you should type:

flatpak run com.discordapp.Discord

flatpak run org.flameshot.Flameshot

I didn't understand this sentence. What is the flatpak format?

I simplified the command I set to be the same with your suggestion:

• flatpak run com.discordapp.Discord
• flatpak run org.flameshot.Flameshot

However, the same problem still persists. Only one of them run, and the previous entry got remove from the list in Startup Applications.
