Public bug reported: I have always set umask at ~/.profile and gnome-session would source this. But in Zesty, this isn't happening, and I can find no way to set a umask default of my choosing for the gnome-session.
Creating a document using gedit always produces the default (unchangeable) permission represented by umask 022. If I adjust umask at ~/.bashrc, creating a document in nano or vi works to get a different umask. But Ubuntu users should be able to adjust umask for GTK3 apps (like gedit) as well. If there is a new way to set ~/.profile variables, the documentation needs to be updated to reflect this so people know how to set them. ** Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1701757 Title: 17.04 (Zesty) does not source ~/.profile To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1701757/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
