I was looking at ticket #11154 where Thomas reported that 'chmod a+x
/usr/bin/lightdm-session' didn't find /usr/bin/lightdm-session.
What we had in BLFS-8.2 is:
sed '\@/bin/sh@a\
\
. /etc/profile' tests/src/lightdm-session > /usr/bin/lightdm-session &&
chmod a+x /usr/bin/lightdm-session
-----
I did some testing with a default /usr/bin/lightdm-session and found
that login works, but /etc/profile is not run. I cannot log in without
/usr/bin/lightdm-session. So we need to do at least:
cp tests/src/lightdm-session /usr/bin/lightdm-session
In addition, ~/.bash_profile is not run when bringing up a terminal
because starting bash in a window is not a login version of bash.
The question is what is the correct initialization when lightdm starts a
session and how to do it.
My solution right now is to have:
$cat /usr/bin/lightdm-session
#!/bin/sh
. /etc/profile # <--- Added
. $HOME/.bash_profile # <--- Added
# Run the session expecting the full command to be the first argument.
# It has to be like this for backwards compatibility instead of having a
# normal argument list
exec $1
