Chrome puts itself on Startup Applications

By Joseph Russell

I don't know if this happened with Oneiric, but since I installed Precise I have noticed that Google Chrome put itself on my Startup Applications and processes like "chrome-no-startup-window", "chrome-sandbox", "chrome-sandbox", "chrome-type-zygote", etc. keep on running on the background. If I remove Chrome from my Startup Applications, it will show back next time I start the computer. How can I get Chrome to stop misbehaving like this?

I use Chromium not Chrome so they could be different, but try unchecking

Background Apps: (*) Continue running background apps when Chromium is closed

which is located at chrome://settings/advanced (or in settings:under the hood via the menus) down at the bottom of the page, as shown in this screenshot:

Good luck!

First of all kill each process:

sudo killall [process name]

Enable precise/universe repo and install bum:

sudo apt-get install bum

Launch the program, find those services and remove them. Then reboot and see if they still load.
