You can copy the defaults that are installed from /etc/skel/.config/autostart

  • conky.desktop
  • octopi-notifier.desktop
  • org.flameshot.Flameshot.desktop
  • org.kde.latte-dock.desktop
  • redshift-gtk.desktop
  • variety.desktop

If you had created your own, and deleted them through dolphin, you might be able to find them in Trash in the sidebar of dolphin to the left. If you did it from command line, you will most likely have to recreate them again (System Settings->Startup and Shutdown->Autostart).

Also, thank you for including your garuda-inxi output. Please edit your post to format like so adding ~~~ one line before and last line

Hi there, welcome to the forum.

This can be fixed with Garuda Assistant, flagging latte to reset.

In case it is needed, if you have no panels ("bars"), you can start:

  • dolphin with Meta + E
  • krunner with Alt + Shift + F2

some files do not seem to be excecutables:
file:///etc/skel/.config/autostart/org.flameshot.Flameshot.desktop
file:///etc/skel/.config/autostart/org.kde.latte-dock.desktop
file:///etc/skel/.config/autostart/bashrc-setup.desktop

Yes, though on my install octopi-notifier.desktop and org.kde.latte-dock.desktop are the ones not set as executable. I believe KDE handles .desktop files correctly whether they are executable or not, though other DE/WMs may not. If you have a problem with one you can set the x bit.

As you are on a working install, you most likely don't need to copy

  • bashrc-setup.desktop
  • garuda-welcome.desktop
  • initial-user-setup.desktop

i get this:

‘/etc/skel/.config/autostart/octopi-notifier.desktop’ does not appear to be an executable program.

I was only partially correct, KDE assumes from the menu/launcher that you want to execute it. From dolphin, you would need to click Execute when prompted. From terminal you would need to use

  • kioclient exec /path/to/file_name.desktop
    or
  • gtk-launch file_name.desktop .

Also, you will want to copy the files you want from /etc/skel/.config/autostart to $HOME/.config/autostart

cp /etc/skel/.config/autostart/replace_with_file_name.desktop $HOME/.config/autostart/.

Once you have them there

  • cd $HOME/.config/autostart
  • do chmod 755 replace_with_actual_file_name.desktop

The chmod is not usually needed in my experience.
