*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 47958 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/47958 All of the work-arounds that have been listed everywhere up until this point have required root to change something in /etc/X11. Further, I don't particularly want to disable ssh-agent from loading. Assuming Ubuntu uses a similar xsession configuration to Debian Jessie (which I imagine would be a safe bet), here is an alternative solution that can work - no root access required: Just create a .xsession file with the contents: #!/bin/bash export $LD_LIBRARY_PATH=...whatever... # Start our session manager of choice. exec x-session-manager ### end Make .xsession executable, and you should be in business. Read /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup, 90x11-common_ssh- agent and 99x11-common_start for a clear picture of why this works. Requires allow-user-xsession to be set in /etc/X11/Xsession.options, but this is the default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366728 Title: LD_LIBRARY_PATH not loading from .profile nor /etc/environment To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/366728/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Happy to confirm that the workaround from comment #21 is working for Ubuntu 10.04. It would be good to know whether LD_LIBRARY_PATH is ignored in $HOME/.profile, /etc/profile, and /etc/environment since Ubuntu 9.04 a) with intention or b) by accident. In case of a), which intention? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables lacks an explanation. In case of b), it is a bug that I would consider serious. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366728 Title: LD_LIBRARY_PATH not loading from .profile nor /etc/environment -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 366728] Re: LD_LIBRARY_PATH not loading from .profile nor /etc/environment
I think it is the same problem as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/380360. I noticed another workaround though: ssh-agent is already initialised in /etc/gdm/Xsession. Empirically, t seems /etc/gdm/Xsession is initialised before .profile whereas /etc/X11/Xsession.options is initialised after .profile. As ssh-agent needs to be initialised only once, simply disabling ssh- agent in /etc/X11/Xsession.options stops LD_LIBRARY_PATH from being set to null after .profile has been sourced. This can be done by changing use-ssh-agent to no-use-ssh-agent in /etc/X11/Xsession.options.

[Bug 366728] Re: LD_LIBRARY_PATH not loading from .profile nor /etc/environment
Digging around a bit I wonder if this is the issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/380360 So when you login, .profile is sourced. Then everything is parented to ssh-agent (I assume to inherit the environment variables that it sets) but as that is setuid, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is reset for security reasons. However the usecase for wanting a per-user (i.e. not system wide) local prefix for development libraries is pretty valid. I don't want other users on the machine to be picking up my libraries when they run stuff, but I do want the setting to be session wide so it is picked up by applications I load from the command line. -- LD_LIBRARY_PATH not loading from .profile nor /etc/environment https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366728 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've just tested the workaround listed in in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/380360 and it works
for me.
To do it:
echo STARTUP=\/usr/bin/env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
\${STARTUP}\ | sudo tee /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90preserve_ld_library_path
then restart your machine.

[Bug 366728] Re: LD_LIBRARY_PATH not loading from .profile nor /etc/environment
It seems the proper way to add to LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not by using that env anymore, but by using ldconfig and /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf files. 1. Add the ld.so configuration file : echo /opt/qt-mobility-src-1.0.0-tp2/install/lib | sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/qt-mobility.conf 2. Update the cache sudo ldconfig -v Now the libraries are in your ld library path. No messing with /etc/environment. And if you later decide to uninstall the libraries, just remove the conf file and run sudo ldconfig again. Cleaner solution for me. I just wonder if this is also portable to other distros beside Ubuntu? (since LD_LIBRARY_PATH supposedly works on all Linux distros) See http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing- Lists/Ubuntu/2008-02/msg02742.html for rationale. AFAIK LD_LIBRARY_PATH is unset in ubuntu, since the libraries are all where they should be:) -- LD_LIBRARY_PATH not loading from .profile nor /etc/environment https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366728 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
