If I open a shell and from cl, export EDITOR=/usr/bin/joe, then echo $EDITOR provides "/usr/bin/joe". $EDITOR is not being set by ~.bashrc.
Do the change, then ctrl-alt-f1, and login. Is it set there? If you some other change, log out, log in.
Yes, it is. So a *complete* logout by a user on a machine is required for ~/.bashrc to effect *only* $EDITOR is required? Doesn't make sense, especially as my backups show I have had "export EDITOR=/usr/bin/joe" in ~/.bashrc since at least Sept 2012. And *never* consciously set mcedit as $EDITOR. And root which has the same export in its .bashrc correctly sets $EDITOR. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
