Digging around a bit I wonder if this is the issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/380360
So when you login, .profile is sourced. Then everything is parented to ssh-agent (I assume to inherit the environment variables that it sets) but as that is setuid, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is reset for security reasons. However the usecase for wanting a per-user (i.e. not system wide) local prefix for development libraries is pretty valid. I don't want other users on the machine to be picking up my libraries when they run stuff, but I do want the setting to be session wide so it is picked up by applications I load from the command line. -- LD_LIBRARY_PATH not loading from .profile nor /etc/environment https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366728 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
