Additional observations. peter@joule:/home/peter$ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:. peter@joule:/home/peter$ env | grep PATH PATH exists, is non-empty and env doesn't report it. peter@joule:/home/peter$ echo $HOME HOME exists and is empty. peter@joule:/home/peter$ echo $DISPLAY DISPLAY exists and is empty. Yes, this console works better when HOME and DISPLAY are defined after starting it. export HOME="/home/peter/" export DISPLAY=":0" Thanks for the various replies, ... P. -- tel: +1 604 670 0140
