All of the work-arounds that have been listed everywhere up until this point have required root to change something in /etc/X11. Further, I don't particularly want to disable ssh-agent from loading. Assuming Ubuntu uses a similar xsession configuration to Debian Jessie (which I imagine would be a safe bet), here is an alternative solution that can work - no root access required: Just create a .xsession file with the contents: #!/bin/bash export $LD_LIBRARY_PATH=...whatever... # Start our session manager of choice. exec x-session-manager ### end Make .xsession executable, and you should be in business. Read /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50x11-common_determine-startup, 90x11-common_ssh- agent and 99x11-common_start for a clear picture of why this works. Requires allow-user-xsession to be set in /etc/X11/Xsession.options, but this is the default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366728 Title: LD_LIBRARY_PATH not loading from .profile nor /etc/environment To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/366728/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
