Thanks, Reuben. I'm reopening this bug then as the root problem still
exists. Thanks for opening the GNOME bug.
** Also affects: gdm via
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682907
Importance: Unknown
Status: Unknown
** Summary changed:
- /sbin not in $PATH
+ GDM 3.0 and highe
Thanks very much for the fix and the workaround!
However, it looks as though there's an underlying problem, namely that
gdm's default PATH is hardwired, not read from system settings. If
/etc/login.defs changes (or the user changes it), this bug will reoccur.
The (duplicate bug) #978259 discusses
This has been fixed for Ubuntu 12.10 Alpha "Quantal Quetzal".
If anyone wants this fixed in previous versions, it's a one-line fix in
debian/rules and then recompile
- --with-default-path=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games \
+
--with-default-path=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/us
The default /etc/profile does nothing of the sort; indeed, it doesn't
even mention PATH.

I have to dispute the package assignment. Running precise after upgrade
from oneiric (which itself was an upgrade from debian stable, therefore
perhaps with non-standard settings), I bumped into such problems. I
notice /etc/profile sets /sbin and /usr/sbin only if `id -u` == 0, not
for regular user
