Re: [arch-general] PATH variable not set in DE (GNOME)
/etc/environment is an option. This is used by pam_env, and applies to
all PAM-authenticated sessions.
However /etc/profile.d is used by most DEs. Did you export PATH?

Hello list,
I'm currently experiencing something weird on a (less than regularly,
but recently) updated Arch machine. After the last update some graphical
programs that rely on the path variable being properly set stopped
working. In particular one application uses exiftool, and works properly
if started from the command line. However, if I open an image, the
application complains that it can not find exiftool.
So I checked in a terminal:
$ which exiftool
/usr/bin/vendor_perl/exiftool
$ echo $PATH
.../usr/bin/vendor_perl...
BUT
if I put the following code in a file
#!/bin/sh
env > /tmp/env
and execute it via GNOME (double click the file and select 'run') and
then check the PATH variable in /tmp/env it does _not_ include the perl
directory.
What is the correct way to set this variable? I always thought it is set
in /etc/profile.d/ but it is already there.
# grep -R vendor_perl /etc
grep: /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/lm_sensors.service: No such
file or directory
grep: /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/S.gpg-agent: No such device or address
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.csh:[ -d /usr/bin/vendor_perl ] && setenv PATH
${PATH}:/usr/bin/vendor_perl
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.csh:[ -d /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/bin ] && setenv PATH
${PATH}:/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/bin
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh:[ -d /usr/bin/vendor_perl ] &&
PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/vendor_perl
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh:[ -d /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/bin ] &&
PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/bin
Is there some way I do not know about? Is this a GNOME problem, or is
something else causing this?
The program used to run and find exiftool. I checked with the developer
because my first thought was that they changed something about how they
detect exiftool. They did not.
Thank you for your help!

Re: [arch-general] Is there a non file manager daemon for automounting like the ones provided by "pcmanfm -d"
在 01/07/15 13:51, Javier Vasquez 写道: Hi, I've been using "pcmanfm -d &" in my ~/.xinitrc, as suggested by [1]. However I would like something similar without the need of the file manager. Hopefully something that shows in the tray bar what's mounted and allows umounting. I don't use a DE, just plain fluxbox, and having to use whether pcmanfm or thunar or any other file manager with daemon capability is something I would like to prevent. I read about ldm, suggested by [2], but it doesn't seem to offer what I'm looking for. Seems to be something to automount with particular uid/gid only. though I might be wrong. Any suggestions? If you don't mind pulling gjs as a dependency, I have two simple scripts at https://bitbucket.org/XeCycle/gjs-mount. The scripts are trivial; seems not hard to rewrite in C or Vala, to eliminate this dependency, but I have not the time. -- Carl Lei (XeCycle) Department of Physics and Astronomy, SJTU
