So this has been reported a number of times in different guises .. for example:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/72714 which links us back to: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150521 Which shows that the gnome folk are not interested in fixing this. So as a distribution, Ubuntu includes a .bash_profile which will not be sourced if you're a local user. Seems odd. And all the possible points of fixing it are marking bugs invalid: - gdm bug? nope, gnome don't care. - terminal bug? nope, see gdm bug - ... As an end user I just want my ~/bin/ to work, I don't much care how we get there. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #150521 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150521 -- newly opened gnome-terminal windows don't have .bash_profile sourced https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/17962 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
