It isn't that /etc/environment isn't being read. It is that something is overwriting the PATH. The lines below in /etc/pam.d/gdm do cause it to read /etc/environment. I can add things to /etc/environment and they will appear in my environment. Yet my PATH is still without sbins. /etc/pam.d/gdm: auth required pam_env.so readenv=1 auth required pam_env.so readenv=1 envfile=/etc/default/locale -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978259 Title: gdm removes sbin directories from user paths To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/978259/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
