Re: [gentoo-user] env.d

[Ben Munat]

Yeah, I read through that doc, but it didn't seem to have anything about 
 root vs. regular user. However, I have (sort of) solved my problem... 
discovered that su-ing to my regular user from root is not the same as 
logging in as that user... certain login files aren't read, I would imagine.

So, if I log into X as the user, my path and everything are set. Now, 
the only (only? ha ha ha...) problem is that I still get this DCOP 
permission error when I try to run kdeinit:

DCOPSERVER: authentication setup failed.
DCOPServer self-test failed.
iceauth: creating new authority file /home/venus1/.ICEauthority
kdeinit: DCOPServer could not be started aborting.
Any idea what this means? I even tried changing my home dir permission 
to 777 and it still failed (don't worry, I changed them back).

For that matter, even if I get kdeinit to run, I still need to figure 
out how to get it to run on login. ???

thnks,

So, how can I have my regular user take advantage of env.d? My path just has the
two or three obvious entries. I can add other stuff manually, but c'mon, this is
gentoo... gotta be a configuration somewhere...


Add a file to /etc/env.d/.  There is documentation on the Gentoo
web site describing the use of /etc/env.d/ and env-update.
