Bug ID: 491579
Summary: startplasma breaks variable merging between profile.d
and environment.d
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.1.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Startup process
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: mar...@marcan.st
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
If the same variable is appended to (PATH-style) in both /etc/profile.d/ and
/usr/lib/environment.d/, startplasma breaks the combination and ends up causing
the environment.d value to be lost.
This happens because startplasma performs the following sequence of events:
0. (systemd has already loaded /usr/lib/environment.d/* into the user
environment at this point, setting TESTVAR=:environment there)
1. startplasma:runEnvironmentScripts(): enumerates files in
/etc/xdg/plasma-workspace/env and,
2. Passes them as args to /usr/libexec/plasma-sourceenv.sh to capture their
environment, *without* the systemd environment imported as the process
environment at this point, which:
a) Runs in a shell, sourcing /etc/profile.d/*.sh, setting TESTVAR=:profile
b) Prints out all the environment back to the caller
3. Sets its own environment from the output of the above, setting
TESTVAR=:profile in the startplasma process
3. syncDBusEnvironment(): Syncs all process env variables back into systemd,
*replacing* TESTVAR=:environment with TESTVAR=:profile there
4. importSystemdEnvrionment() (sic): Imports the systemd environment into the
process environment, but at this point TESTVAR=:profile there already. The
/usr/lib/environment.d setting was lost.
5. Starts the session, with TESTVAR=:profile in the environment
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. echo 'TESTVAR=$TESTVAR:environment' | sudo tee
/usr/lib/environment.d/testvar.conf
2. echo 'export TESTVAR=$TESTVAR:profile' | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/testvar.sh
3. Log out and back in
4. echo $TESTVAR; systemctl --user show-environment | grep TESTVAR
OBSERVED RESULT
:profile:profile
TESTVAR=:profile
(The first :profile comes from startplasma sourcing /etc/profile.d, the second
one comes from the Konsole shell sourcing it again)
EXPECTED RESULT
Both lines: something with :profile and :environment each at least once
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Fedora Linux Asahi Remix 40
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This can be worked around by creating
/etc/xdg/plasma-workspace/env/00capture.sh with the following contents:
```
#!/bin/sh
set -a
. <(systemctl --user show-environment)
source /etc/profile.d/*.sh
```
This forces the systemd user env to be imported into the startup scripts
environment context, and then the profile.d scripts to be sourced again, thus
combining them as intended and populating them into the startplasma environment
(which then syncs the now merged value into systemd, achieving the desired
result of having it in both the systemd environment and the actual session
process environment).
This blocks usage of environment.d for widevine-installer:
