[Touch-packages] [Bug 1861363] Re: /etc/environment.d cannot be used to add to PATH
I've found out that `/etc/environment.d` is not intended for setting environment variables for login shells. From poettering at https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/12938: @dschepler is right. systemd-environment-d-generator gets run by systemd --user, and thus set environment variables for the systemd per- user service manager and their child processes only. Login shells (such as those started via getty on the console or ssh) are not children of systemd and hence the generators have no effect on them whatsoever. For login sessions use pam_env or some .profile script or similar to set env vars... Sorry. ** Bug watch added: github.com/systemd/systemd/issues #12938 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/12938 ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1861363 Title: /etc/environment.d cannot be used to add to PATH Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I've added an executable file `/etc/environment.d/60-haskell.conf` with the following contents: PATH=/opt/ghc/bin:$PATH According to `man environment.d`, this is a proper procedure for altering the PATH variable via systemd.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1861363] Re: /etc/environment.d cannot be used to add to PATH
To add to the issue, `/etc/environment` has one line setting `PATH` and throwing out any old versions of `PATH` (it doesn't contain `$PATH`). Changing that changed my `PATH` consistently on reboot: $ cat /etc/environment PATH="/opt/ghc/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games" $ printenv PATH /home/ubuntu/.cargo/bin:/home/ubuntu/bin:/opt/ghc/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin I tried adding a line to `/etc/environment.d/60-haskell.conf` setting `ZOMG=zomg`, but it wasn't picked up on reboot, so it appears that files in `/etc/environment.d` do nothing at all, not that they're just overwritten by `/etc/environment`. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1861363 Title: /etc/environment.d cannot be used to add to PATH Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I've added an executable file `/etc/environment.d/60-haskell.conf` with the following contents: PATH=/opt/ghc/bin:$PATH According to `man environment.d`, this is a proper procedure for altering the PATH variable via systemd.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1861363] Re: /etc/environment.d cannot be used to add to PATH
My `/etc/profile` doesn't seem to set the PATH, so the systemd bug
resolution may not be applicable:
$ grep PATH /etc/profile
$
I have Ubuntu 18.04 (Server, I assume) installed on a cloud server. I
access it only via SSH/Mosh and have no GUI (X or Wayland) installed as
far as I know.
I'm not sure in what order the PATH is set during boot, login, etc. All
I know is that `man environment.d` is incorrect when it says `PATH` can
be changed in a `.conf` file located in `/etc/environment.d`:
Example
Example 1. Setup environment to allow access to a program installed in
/opt/foo
/etc/environment.d/60-foo.conf:
FOO_DEBUG=force-software-gl,log-verbose
PATH=/opt/foo/bin:$PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/foo/lib${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/foo/share:${XDG_DATA_DIRS:-/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/}
