Hello I've read several threads on this subject and NONE gave any solution to my problem.
Here it is - I use Debian 3.1 with KDE installed (standard package). I've just (yesterday) moved from the good-old Slackware, and I'm a bit green to the way Debian sets up everything. In my previous system, when I wanted PATH variable for ALL users to contain some new entry, I simply edited /etc/profile file and voila... Not so easy here. I checked and /etc/profile is never even read!!! EVER!!! I mainly work in windowed environment KDE provides, so I started digging on that and found out that two scripts: /etc/kde3/kdm/Xstartup and /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession are executed when kdm starts up (the first one as root, the latter one after the user logs in). The first script contains a PATH variable definition, but it DOES NOT export it. I tried to hook it up anyway, but doesn't work. ------- And now to the point: ------- 1. What scripts and in which order are being executed during KDE startup? 2. Where can I change the contents of PATH variable so that the change persists when I log in as any user (this imples that .bashrc is not an option)? 3. Why isn't the /etc/profile script used? Thank You very much for Your help :) Best regards, Paksas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
