Public bug reported: after login to my plasma session I noticed the following strange path in some XDG env variables missing the : separator
pascal@minipc:~$ env | grep XDG XDG_VTNR=7 XDG_SESSION_ID=264 XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 XDG_DATA_DIRS=/home/pascal/kde/share:/usr/share//usr/share/xsessions/plasma:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/var/lib/snapd/desktop XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=KDE XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user XDG_SEAT_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0 XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE XDG_SEAT=seat0 XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1026 XDG_SESSION_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session5 XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-/usr/share/xsessions/plasma:/etc/xdg:/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kf5-settings pascal@minipc:~$ env | grep PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/pascal/kde/lib: MANDATORY_PATH=/usr/share/gconf//usr/share/xsessions/plasma.mandatory.path DEFAULTS_PATH=/usr/share/gconf//usr/share/xsessions/plasma.default.path XDG_SEAT_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0 XDG_SESSION_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session5 PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:/home/pascal/kde/bin:/home/pascal/bin:/home/pascal/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin As you see the following 2 env variables are not setup correctly : pascal@minipc:~$ env | grep PATH | grep '//' MANDATORY_PATH=/usr/share/gconf//usr/share/xsessions/plasma.mandatory.path DEFAULTS_PATH=/usr/share/gconf//usr/share/xsessions/plasma.default.path The same for : pascal@minipc:~$ env | grep XDG | grep '//' XDG_DATA_DIRS=/home/pascal/kde/share:/usr/share//usr/share/xsessions/plasma:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/var/lib/snapd/desktop You can also notice the 'xdg-/usr/xxx' in the following : XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-/usr/share/xsessions/plasma:/etc/xdg:/usr/share /kubuntu-default-settings/kf5-settings For XDG variables they seem to be set up here : pascal@minipc:~$ dpkg -S /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60x11-common_xdg_path x11-common: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60x11-common_xdg_path ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.04 Package: x11-common 1:7.7+16ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.10.0-28.32-lowlatency 4.10.17 Uname: Linux 4.10.0-28-lowlatency x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.4-0ubuntu4.5 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Mon Jul 24 18:51:03 2017 Dependencies: lsb-base 9.20160110ubuntu5 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-05-14 (436 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: xorg UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: xorg-server Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug zesty ** Also affects: xorg-server Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1706126 Title: XDG_DATA_DIRS XDG_CONFIG_DIRS MANDATORY_PATH DEFAULTS_PATH are not set correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1706126/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
