Title:
~/.gnomerc is not loaded anymore at startup
Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have clean-installed Focal and configured to run X.org server
instead of Wayland, and found that the ~/.gnomerc is not loaded
anymore.
In /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55gnome-session_gnomerc, it tries to load
~/.gnomerc but it fails because of the change of the gnome-session's
startup process.
Let's see this part of the 55gnome-session_gnomerc:
BASESTARTUP=${STARTUP%% *}
BASESTARTUP=${BASESTARTUP##*/}
if [ "$BASESTARTUP" = x-session-manager ]; then
BASESTARTUP=$(basename $(readlink /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager))
fi
case "$BASESTARTUP" in
gnome-session*)
GNOMERC=$HOME/.gnomerc
if [ -r "$GNOMERC" ]; then
. "$GNOMERC"
fi
In Bionic, at the time of launching 55gnome-session_gnomerc, the value of
$STARTUP is "gnome-session" and it works properly. In Focal, however, the value
of $STARTUP is
"env GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=ubuntu /usr/bin/gnome-session --systemd
--session=ubuntu",
and $BASESTARTUP became "env", then it skips loading ~/.gnomerc.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1895781] Re: ~/.gnomerc is not loaded anymore at startup
The same issue has been reproduced in Jammy (22.04.1).
The following patch for 55gnome-session_gnomerc is a workaround that
fixes this issue.

This problem seems to have escalated to the point that .profile is not
sourced anymore at startup, neither is .bashrc.

Thank you for your bug report and details, low priority issue because
it's not a file commonly used but still would be nice to fix the feature
for people relying on it

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1895781] Re: ~/.gnomerc is not loaded anymore at startup
I think we should not post this bug report to the upstream's BTS because
this bug only occus on Ubuntu.
Here are some background info. '55gnome-session_gnomerc' is created by
Debian and not included in the original tarball of gnome-session, and it
perfectly works on Debian.
So why it fails on Ubuntu? Ubuntu's 'ubuntu-session' package provides
'/usr/share/xsessions/ubuntu.desktop' file that executes gnome-session
by the following command line:
env GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=ubuntu /usr/bin/gnome-session --systemd
--session=ubuntu
For comparison, on Debian, '/usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop' simply
calls '/usr/bin/gnome-session'.
In conclusion, 1) Ubuntu activates /usr/bin/gnome-session in a non-
standard way, and 2) 55gnome-session_gnomerc does not expect it.
