Package: bash
Version: 4.3-15
Followup-For: Bug #379696
Dear Maintainer,
I decided to add some info in case you think this may help to close this
bug.
The issue regarding the $PATH differences between GUI and CLI sessions can
be solved creating a .xsessionrc file with the desired variables as
suggested in the Xsession (5) manual page:
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/40x11-common_xsessionrc
Source global environment variables. This script will source
anything in $HOME/.xsessionrc if the file is present. This
allows the user to set global environment variables for their X
session, such as locale information.
In my particular case, the described bug appeared in my system when I had
to manually modify my .profile file to update it (Bash bug #820856).
Since then:
$ echo $PATH (in a CLI session)
/home/robert/bin:/home/robert/.local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:\
/usr/local/games:/usr/games
$ echo $PATH (in a XFCE4 session)
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
After creating a .xsessionrc file containing
PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH",
the $PATH variable is regardless the session type:
$ echo $PATH
/home/robert/bin:/home/robert/.local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:\
/usr/local/games:/usr/games
If you need anything else, let me know it.
Regards.
