looking at ./daemon/slave.c in the gdm sources, I think the interesting
function is session_child_run. Among other stuff, it contains these
lines:
/* Prepare user session */
g_setenv ("XAUTHORITY", d->userauth, TRUE);
g_setenv ("DISPLAY", d->name, TRUE);
if (d->windowpath)
g_setenv ("WINDOWPATH", d->windowpath, TRUE);
g_setenv ("LOGNAME", pwent->pw_name, TRUE);
g_setenv ("USER", pwent->pw_name, TRUE);
g_setenv ("USERNAME", pwent->pw_name, TRUE);
g_setenv ("HOME", home_dir, TRUE);
#ifdef WITH_CONSOLE_KIT
if (ck_session_cookie != NULL) {
g_setenv ("XDG_SESSION_COOKIE", ck_session_cookie, TRUE);
}
#endif
g_setenv ("PWD", home_dir, TRUE);
g_setenv ("GDMSESSION", session, TRUE);
g_setenv ("DESKTOP_SESSION", session, TRUE);
g_setenv ("SHELL", pwent->pw_shell, TRUE);
[..]
/* Special PATH for root */
if (pwent->pw_uid == 0)
g_setenv ("PATH", gdm_daemon_config_get_value_string
(GDM_KEY_ROOT_PATH), TRUE);
else
g_setenv ("PATH", gdm_daemon_config_get_value_string
(GDM_KEY_PATH), TRUE);
Andrei, could you check which of these environment variables are missing
a sensible value in a nodm session started at system start?
Enrico, I guess this code gives a good guidance as to what do do WRT
session setup in nodm. Are you going to take care of that?
Thanks,
Joachim
