<pre>

===Guake.desktop===

If the above method doesn't work, you can try creating a .desktop file in the autostart directory.

Create a file named '''guake.desktop''' in <code>~/.config/autostart/</code> Directory with the following content:
* If directory '''~/config/autostart''' does not exist create one <code>mkdir ~/.config/autostart</code>

<code>$EDITOR ~/.config/autostart/guake.desktop</code>

<pre>
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=guake
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name=Guake
Comment=Start Guake Terminal
</pre>

====Guake.desktop file disappering after reboot problem====

The issue you're experiencing with the guake.desktop file disappearing from the '''~/.config/autostart''' directory after reboot is a known behavior in some Ubuntu MATE versions, including 24.04.

This happens because certain applications, including Guake, manage their own autostart entries.

To resolve this issue and ensure Guake starts automatically, you can try the following workaround:

Create the guake.desktop file in ~/.config/autostart as you've been doing.

After creating the file, rename it to something like "start_guake.desktop" This prevents Guake from recognizing it as its own file and removing it.
