Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
My ~/.profile (I believe the default jessie one) was not being sourced as $PATH
was being set incorrectly
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I added trace to /etc/profile and ~/.profile (symlinked ~/.bash_profile to ~/.profile)
* What was the outcome of this action?
trace did not trigger
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected BOTH scripts to be executed at a GUI logon.
Looking back @ wheezy, I see work was done in /etc/gdm/Xsession. I took the relevant section
of that file and used it to create:
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/70fix_lightdm_gpv:
# GPV: 2-May-2015, lightdm + cinnamon forgets to source ANY profiles!!
# First read /etc/profile and .profile
test -f /etc/profile && . /etc/profile
test -f "$HOME/.profile" && . "$HOME/.profile"
# Second read /etc/xprofile and .xprofile for X specific setup
test -f /etc/xprofile && . /etc/xprofile
test -f "$HOME/.xprofile" && . "$HOME/.xprofile"
# Local Variables:
# mode: shell-script
# sh-indentation: 2
# indent-tabs-mode: nil
# End:
# vim:set ai et sts=2 sw=2 tw=80:
This caused both /etc/profile and ~/.profile to get executed and so the wheezy behaviour was restored.
