Robert, et al -- ...and then Robert Munteanu said... % ... % So this is not about a new user vs existing ones, it's about how login % is achieved. I get the path that does not include $HOME/bin by: % % - logging in to tty1 This surprises me, since it is IS an actual login and will read your profile. % - using xterm % - using gnome-terminal % - using tilix These are likely not login shells but rather just shells, and so they won't read profile and do the fun stuff in there. % % So there's a clear difference how the paths are setup. Digging further, % I see some path work being done in /etc/profile: % % if test -z "$PROFILEREAD" ; then Here's an interesting twist. If the variable indicating that you've already been through profile is empty then go ahead and do the next stuff, but don't repeat it. % PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin % if test "$HOME" != "/" ; then % for dir in $HOME/bin/$CPU $HOME/bin ; do % test -d $dir && PATH=$dir:$PATH It shouldn't be a factor in this case, since $PATH should be exported and inherited, but other things may not really happen when you think they would. % done % fi % % (snip) % % But not sure why it does not work in my case. Login vs just a shell. % % Thanks, % Robert HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
