So my reasoning would be that an xterm is not a login shell, and therefore .bash_profile is not being executed. My .bash_profile is attached, and I modify the path in there. What I'm wondering is why it worked until a few days/weeks back and suddenly stopped working?
As a workaround, I tried to create a $HOME/.Xdefaults file as described here http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=9282 Basically what I did was creating a $HOME/.Xdefaults with the contents XTerm*.LoginShell: True and then added a new startup application (System -> Startup Applications -> New...) containing the line xrdb -all $HOME/.Xdefaults because Ubuntu does not honor $HOME/.Xdefaults on startup (i.e. no xrdb is started automatically for that, or at least not for me). This is a workaround, because now my xterms also source my .bash_profile and everything works. -- /usr/bin/which and /usr/bin/xargs do not find commands in $HOME/bin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/609146 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
