We had this exact problem when rolling out X2Go. Since X2Go doesn't actually
spawn a login session,
/etc/profile doesn't get sourced (and neither does ~/.profile).
To fix this for all users, we added a script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90read_profile that looks like this:
# Source /etc/profile and $HOME/.profile # This should fix path issues in X2Go sessions if [ -r /etc/profile ]; then source /etc/profile fi if [ -r $HOME/.profile ]; then source $HOME/.profile fi
To do this for just one user, you could theoretically put this same script in $HOME/.xsession - I haven't tried this myself.
I hope this helps.
Hi Matthew,
just saw your reply now. I had actually already tried sourcing .profile from the .xsession file .. It didn't work. Frustratingly, I also did not get results from sourcing it from 90read_profile. So, i'm still researching. Thanks for the hope though! ;)
