[SOLVED...] KDE: ~/.config/autostart-scripts/autostart.sh vanished

Hi,
I'm using kde and after today's updates, my ~/.config/autostart-scripts/autostart.sh just vanished and i'm faililng to find a cause for it.

Fortunately my last backup done by backintime from last night at 0:00 saved my a$$ and i swear i did not used this machine after the backup if not for runing pacman -Suy and rebooting.

Did it happen to anybody?

-EDIT-
I just found this new file: /home/koko/.config/autostart/autostart.sh.desktop
containing: Exec=/home/koko/.config/old-autostart-scripts/autostart.sh
and indeed my script was moved there, but not executed for some reason.

Oh my, what a bad way to manage the update, see:

// Delete or rename autostart-scripts to old-autostart-scripts to avoid running the migration again

...really?

Sorry to bump this old thread, but it's directly related: You set this thread to "SOLVED" – but you did not tell how. My ssh-add.sh script is migrated to old-autostart-scripts, and the autostart/ssh-add.sh.desktop points to it. Nonetheless, it no longer works since a couple of days having installed Arch updates.

You are searching for answer to a problem solved more than a year ago.

Still, you are so sure it contains the solution to your problem that you think I failed to provide the solution to mine.

If it is still not clear, i just moved my autostart script and I don't have a clue what your issue is.
Try to add it again via autostart kcm panel.

I don't have a clue what your issue is.

it no longer works

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

Especially whether "not works" means it's not executed at all or just doesn't do what you expect it to do.
Then likely open a new thread if this is an issue rather w/ the script than its invocation.

I am going to close this thread and invite Nursoda to go ahead and start a new thread as this is likely a new problem.
