Package: gnome-shell
Version: 48.1-1
Hi,
I can't change the PATH at GDM level so I can execute programs in my ~/bin
folder. I can easily define other variables though. The problem is reported
elsewhere and most recently on these pages:
https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/i2ybvc/cant_change_path_in_environmentd5/
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/commit/349e6af855a1c1dbee9af3e5881e00b66482d155
I have changed these files: ~/.bashrc, ~/.pam_environment,
~/etc/environment. Their contents are:
~/.bashrc :
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
~/.pam_environment
PATH OVERRIDE=${HOME}/bin:${HOME}/.local/bin:${PATH}
/etc/environment
PATH=/home/farid/.local/bin:$PATH
and at my Bash prompt in Gnome-terminal I get:

I am not sure if it's related to systemd or Gnome-shell. But in the reddit
link I shared above, a person says the problem is not present in KDE.
I expect that when I press alt+f2 and type an executable name which is
present in ~/.local/bin/ to be executed.
thanks
