[Touch-packages] [Bug 794315] Re: lightdm forgets to source /etc/profile and ~/.profile
Derek, sourcing .profile makes perfect sense. You can't rely on having a terminal or really being interactive or anything else _anyway_, and in practice, long experience shows that sourcing profile in Xsession actually doesn't cause any problems in practice. Display managers should _always_ source .profile. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794315 Title: lightdm forgets to source /etc/profile and ~/.profile Status in Light Display Manager: Fix Released Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in lightdm package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: lightdm /etc/gdm/Xsession had this code: # First read /etc/profile and .profile test -f /etc/profile && . /etc/profile test -f "$HOME/.profile" && .

Is it a prerequisite? It was done in the past so there is a strong argument that is should continue. If it is Ubuntu policy that '~/.profile' get sourced by the display manger, all the display managers should do it and the sample file should not indicate it is intended for the login shell. Which indicates to me I should not expect '~/.profile' to get sourced if a display manager is handling the login or if I am starting one shell from another shell.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 794315] Re: lightdm forgets to source /etc/profile and ~/.profile
Note that the profile is sourced at the top of /usr/sbin/lightdm- session, and the bottom of lightdm-session runs everything in /etc/X11/Xsession.d. The final file is 99x11-common_start, which is exec $STARTUP. Thus this never returns to the exec in lightdm-session. Since 99upstart (from upstart package, so pretty much always present) smashes STARTUP to init --user, the X session is actually started by upstart-- which does not pass through the environment so carefully established in lightdm-session (see Job environment in init(5)). Consensus on askubuntu ( http://askubuntu.com/search?q=profile.d ) seems to be a graphical login shell is not a login shell, which basically requires the treatment of every new terminal window as a new login shell if there's to be a rational environment in there. If this was ever considered a bug, it appears to have reverted now.
