Short Answer
If you want to save sessions across reboots you’ll have to switch from Lubuntu (LXDE Desktop) to Kubuntu (KDE desktop) or Xubuntu (XFCE desktop).
It won’t work on Ubuntu (Unity Desktop).
Long Answer
Using this tool I recently wrote: Bash one-liner to display ALL gsettings in Zenity or Yad. I sorted on Key and scrolled to the A section to find:
Note: Many people will prefer to install dconf-editor to navigate to the gsettings and set the values.
To manually find the states use:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.SessionManager auto-save-session
false
$ gsettings get org.gnome.SessionManager auto-save-session-one-shot
false
To save the session for across reboots use:
gsettings set org.gnome.SessionManager auto-save-session true
Then reboot.
Note: This doesn’t work in Ubuntu 16.04 but does in Kubuntu.
Someone recommended here to use Compiz Session Management:
but it doesn’t appear to work in Ubuntu 16.04 either.
