Thankyou, but I think I have solved the problem by adding a line
to ~/.bashrc , as was suggested on this list. Sorry for the confusing
way I announced the problem solved and then proceeded to continue
posting to the thread.
Thanks to all, and I hope I can refrain from making this thread a
continui

My two cents: if you start your session from an X11 login (I.e. gdm, xdm...)
you do not run a login shell and .profile is not invoked. Telling the terminal
to
start the shell as a login one is a solution, another is moving the code from
.profile to .bashrc (this one is invoked each time you star

There are different ways to get the job done. Conclusion there is not
a single correct way to deal with this issue. But the main point is
that Debian installer does not automatically take care of this. I'm
happy with this new knowledge, especially with Andrei's information
about the lack on intere

I see the file ~/.profile . It contains code that tests for the

I've just done a fresh netinst of Wheezy and want to proceed with my
personal configuring in a way that is not fighting with the Debian
view of how things should be done. I've used Debian since Potato, I
think, but have always hacked things until they seemed to be
working. Now, I want to try to do
