[Bug 1668722] Re: 60x11-common_xdg_path uses $DESKTOP_SESSION which needs a sanity check
So it seems that the problem is not that xorg doesn't set DESKTOP_SESSION correctly, it's that SDDM uses an absolute path for this instead of just the base name like every other window manager. I'll fix it in Ubuntu; meanwhile, a bug is filed upstream.

[Bug 1668722] Re: 60x11-common_xdg_path uses $DESKTOP_SESSION which needs a sanity check
DESKTOP_SESSION is created by the display manager. In particular, SDDM puts an absolute path in DESKTOP_SESSION, which seem to be quite distinct from what other managers are doing. I have opened https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/852 about that matter. However, the 60x11-common_xdg_path could be made to produce better XDG paths. This scripts was created by Ubuntu (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/804734 for the context), so Ubuntu should fix it if need be. Note that nothing says the paths in such variables have to be valid. The users of these variables should be ready for invalid path (simply switch to the next one in the list). ** Bug watch added: github.com/sddm/sddm/issues #852 https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/852 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1668722 Title: 60x11-common_xdg_path uses $DESKTOP_SESSION which needs a sanity check To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1668722/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
