I'm having a bit of an issue: Neither of my /etc/profile
or /etc/environment
are getting sourced at login!
i.e: After boot, the global variables I've got set in /etc/profile
(and /etc/profile.d/*.sh
consequently) or /etc/environment
are not recognized neither by other GUI apps nor by bash on terminal.
Please note that I'm running Linux Mint 17 the Cinnamon edition, which, by default, does source the /etc/profile
file.
File permissions are -rw-r--r-- 1 root root
for all of the files in question.
What could be the problem?
/etc/profile
is-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel
where thewheel
group holds system administrators, I think. Small chance that it might not be sourced if, for example, it's writable to others?)-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 856 Feb 22 15:55 /etc/profile
