Checking "start Bitcoin on system login/startup" within the Bitcoin-qt interface didn't work for me either.
I got around this by:
Deselecting auto run (to avoid conflicts in the OS).
Opening the Ubuntu/unity search widget and typing 'startup'.
Here you'll see the system startup manager.
Add a new entry in startup manager, pointing to the location where you keep Bitcoin-qt.
Restart your machine.
Topic: problem with bitcoin core on start up (Read 1377 times)
This is happening to me as well. Except I’m on Ubuntu. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hey
Don't know if it is the right place, but here goes.
I have checked the option in bitcoin core to "start bitcoin on system login" in options. When I then restart my computer it pops up when the computer has booted as it should, but it keeps saying "since this is the first time you have launched the program...." and then gives me the option where to store the blockchain. Then I need to press cancel and then click on my shortcut bitcoin core 64-bit on my desktop to make it load properly. I need to click the shortcut because if I find the program in windows explorer and launch it from there then I also get the "since this is the first time..." message.
Does anybody know a way to fix this so I don't have to manually open bitcoin core when I start my computer?
