For me, I see this as a bug, so I'm adding the required info in this comment. Steps to reproduce: 1. Try to edit the path in `~/.config/environment` adding `PATH=${PATH}:/path1` 2. Also add a fresh test variable `FOO=bar` 3. Edit the path in your profile (`~/.bashrc`, `~/.profile`, `/etc/profile`, doesn't matter) with `PATH=$PATH:/path2` 4. Also add a second fresh test variable `FIZZ=buzz` 5. Have some user service start at boot using `WantedBy=default.target` in its unit, for testing purpose 6. Reboot your system Expected result: * Plasma itself and applications should see: * either `PATH=$PATH:/path1:/path2` or `PATH=$PATH:/path2:/path1` (possibly the first) * `FOO=bar` * `FIZZ=buzz` * All user services should see "at least": * `PATH=$PATH:/path1` * `FOO=bar` * (Optionally, some user services may see the same variables as plasma) * This is to say that if some user services see more than the variable in `~/.config/environment` it's not a big deal Observed result: * Plasma itself and applications see: * `PATH=$PATH:/path2` * `FOO=bar` * `FIZZ=buzz` * User services started before plasma see: * `PATH=$PATH:/path1` * `FOO=bar` * User services started after plasma see: * `PATH=$PATH:/path2` * `FOO=bar` * `FIZZ=buzz` -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
