Hi,

it shows gdm-42.0 as my display manager

A quick search makes me think gdm sources .xprofile. So adding
source ~/.bash_profile
to ~/.xprofile should work.

this is in my .zprofile file, after adding the second sentence/your proposal

# Honor system-wide environment variables
source /etc/profile
# all Profile beim Start des Displays Managers öffnen
source ~/.bash_profile
..........................................................................

but it didn’t help to enable all profiles at login.

Ok, I can think of 2 potential problems. 1) xprofile is not read on login or 2) something is wrong with the lines in .bash_profile that should activate the profiles.

To test 1) add
echo reading xprofile on $(date) >>~/login.log
to your .xprofile and logout and back in.

If this file is really sourced on login, you should find the file ~/login.log with a line saying something like reading xprofile on Do 20. Apr 16:13:21 CEST 2023.

If login.log does not exist, then maybe ~/.xprofile is not executable?
Try chmod +x ~/.xprofile and re-login.

If login.log exists, then there seems to be something wrong with the lines that should activate the profiles in .bash_profile.
To test 2) start a login shell with a clean environment
env - bash -l

and check whether that shell has all the profiles activated. If not, there is something wrong with your .bash_profile. You should post that then.
