so I'm quite new and just started using ubuntu, and I've heard about ubuntu being able to remember all my last windows (enabling "auto-save-session" via dconf editor). And no matter how many times I try to enable it, it never works for me, I don't even get an error message. How can I try to fix this?

Currently this feature is not supported in 14.04, seems to be a bug, but there are a few possibilities to work around that function.

  1. Using a script

desgua wrote a script where you can configure your session manually which worked for me for each workspace by typing the following into your console:

cd ~/ && wget -c http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4098082/session.config && chmod +x ~/session.config && ~/session.config
  1. Gnome-session-save

Another possibility is to do: killall gnome-session then sudo gnome-session-save --logout which should save the current session and log out at the same time. It seemed to work for others but not for me.

There is an easier way folks!

  1. Install Compiz Settings Manager if you don't have it already

    sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

  2. Under Categories click on Utility and tick the little box next to Enable Session Management to activate it.

That's it!!

easy peasy lemon squeezy ;)
