Disabling picom at the start (boot) [Solved]

I have installed Bunsenlabs Carbon virtually with virt-manager. But apparently, pico doesn't work well with a virtual installation. I couldn't see my typed text. The preferences window in XFCE4 terminal gave me a screenshot of that same terminal. In short, it was a mess.

Using the command: pkill pico did the trick. I can do everything now.

Now I want to ensure that pico doesn't run at startup. I was able to find the file: ~/.config/bunsen/autostart. Problem is that pico isn't mentioned there.

My question: how to disable pico at the start?

Remove the ~/.config/picom.desktop file if it exists. There is also a /etc/xdg/autostart/picom.desktop.

If you'll only be using carbon in a virtual installation, you can remove picom altogether.

I removed ~/.config/picom.config and the /etc/xdg/autostart/picom.desktop file and I was able to boot perfectly. Thanks.

Good.

Can you edit your title and posts so they read "picom"instead of "pico", please.

That way the thread shows in forum search results. And, as I recall pico was a text editor similar to nano.
