Client: Can't stop automatic starting on Ubuntu 16.04 Linux

[ziyaddin]

There are no settings to choose whether I want automatic starting or not. Would be great to add that kind of functionality. Otherwise, there is no way to stop automatic starting of the program.

@ziyaddin take a look at ~/.config/autostart/keybase_autostart.desktop:

# Uncomment the following line to disable Keybase autostart:
#Hidden=true

Apologies for not having a setting for this in the GUI yet.

@oconnor663 Thank you! No problem, it is not a big deal to disable it by using the mentioned method. The only issue is usability.

Just wanted to drop a note here, since I found this issue and checked ~/.config/autostart/keybase_autostart.desktop to find terminal commands instead:

# To toggle autostart on, run
# `keybase ctl autostart --enable`
# or to toggle off,
# `keybase ctl autostart --disable`.
# Note that this will overwrite any changes you have made.

In Keybase 5.0, you can change this setting in the GUI on all platforms. Please make a new issue if you are still having trouble. Thanks!
