The expected behavior is that .bashrc is called on login on desktop. Please standardize and specify documentation with regards to the expected workflow for initializing an environment and executing .bashrc on desktop login. 4. What occurs is that lightdm-session is called with sh (dash presumably) and the provided .bashrc are not called because ligthdm- session is non-bash non-interactive shell. It was addressed here, but there is no explanation specific as to the logic of this behavior and the contemplation regarding it is perhaps inadequate as it was not immediately apparent to the responders what was happening though it should be quite obvious as environment initialization is quite important: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/962270 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1252456/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
