http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204434 Bug ID: 1204434 Summary: env exports in /etc/environment don't work anymore after snapshot update Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: c.j@tuta.io QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- After today's update (to snapshot 20221016 or perhaps was it 20221015) "export QT_SCALE_FACTOR_ROUNDING_POLICY=PassThrough" in /etc/environment doesn't have any effect anymore (needed to fix QT5 apps scaling on hidpi displays, i.ex Yast and chessx are 2x too big on Gnome with 1.5x Gnome font scaling). It seems that the variables exported in /etc/environment aren't applied anymore, because starting an app with "QT_SCALE_FACTOR_ROUNDING_POLICY=PassThrough" in gnome-terminal WORKS. Does anyone know which update in snapshot 20221016 or 20221015 is responsible for breaking the env set in /etc/environment ?

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204434 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204434#c1 --- Comment #1 from C J --- Removing the the word "export" fixed this. (It always worked before and suddenly stopped working after an update. Requiring hours of searching and testing. This is Linux for you. Why? Because someone screwed things up and didn't inform anyone. What an unstable shitshow.). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

The opensuse Documentation / wiki. 2. Or /etc/environment (pam module?) (?) should be informed to correct/adapt the docs or not. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

1. I worked before and stopped after an update. -> Who would think to look into the cli man? 2.The command "environment" doesn't exit. -> Who would think to look into the cli man?

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204434 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204434#c5 C J changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |schubi@suse.com --- Comment #5 from C J --- Adding schubi@suse.com as he was responsible for the pam update that broke this, so that he can tell us if he thinks if pam is the responsible package or if this happened elsewhere. Nothing was in the pam package changelog and I have also looked into the factory mailing list snapshot details. Nothing. So I guess the changelog was not properly done by upstream? ------------- When a package update introduces changes that will break system config files I think this should happen: -> Zypper should spit out a RED warning that package XYZ introduces changes that might break /etc/environment, etc... This way we can know where to look. (complicated because it requires upstream to inform of the change, + spec file & zypper awareness). So let's start with with a new SPEC or OBS Changelog section called i.ex : CLI/API/ABI breaking changes. -> zypper can then spit this out as a warning in RED.

Yes. Usually, configuration files have their own manpage, under section 5 [1]. You were using a wrong syntax in the first place. Yes, it was working before, but at the risk of happening what you experienced. In Leap 15.4 we have:

...

$ rpm -q pam pam-1.3.0-150000.6.58.3.x86_64 $ cat /etc/environment # # This file is parsed by pam_env module # # Syntax: simple "KEY=VAL" pairs on separate lines #

And, in Tumbleweed:

...

$ rpm -q pam pam-1.5.2-8.1.x86_64 $ cat /etc/environment # # This file is parsed by pam_env module # # Syntax: simple "KEY=VAL" pairs on separate lines #

The syntax is still the same: "KEY=VAL". And, yes, the latest update to the PAM package brought a new patch that seems to be, enforcing the expected syntax now. [1] https://www.commandlinux.com/man-page/man5/ -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
