auto-save-session broken

Project:Trisquel
Version:7.0
Component:Gnome
Category:bug report
Priority:normal
Assigned:Unassigned
Status:closed
Description

This setting is broken:

dconf write /org/gnome/gnome-session/auto-save-session true

You won't be able to log in again if you set it.

To restore the old setting if you locked out yourself:
* Go to the fallback terminal (Ctrl+F1) and login with the locked out user account.
* rm -r ~/.config/
* sudo reboot

Erm, typo

To be able to log in again if you locked out yourself you have to reset .config to factory settings:
* Go to the fallback terminal (Ctrl+F1) and login with the locked out user account.
* rm -r ~/.config/
* sudo reboot

Cannot reproduce the bug in Trisquel 11.0.1.

However, `dconf write /org/gnome/gnome-session/auto-save-session true` is incompatible with systemd (used by Trisquel), but that is another story: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1183
