Sorry if this kind of question isn’t allowed here, but I’m at my wit’s end. VB randomly started launching on startup about 2 weeks ago (on EndeavourOS) and I can’t figure out why. There’s no shortcut in ~/config/autostart, it isn’t in the KDE startup apps list, and I can’t find anything virtualbox-related with systemctl either. There’s also no setting in the VB app itself. WTF?

    I was feeling good about this one, but that didn’t work either.

        I’m not sure what you mean by this, sorry! My Linux expertise is limited once I get below surface level.

          Well hey, welcome to the Linux club :)

          Unlike Windows, in Linux every process has a parent except for PID (Process ID) 1, which is the init system. You can run a command like ps auxf and you’ll get a tree of all your processes and you can hopefully see what spawned VirtualBox.
