Public bug reported: If global variables are set in /etc/environment these settings are ignored loging in. Assume /etc/environmet holding proxy informations:
ftp_proxy=http://proxy:8080 http_proxy=http://proxy:8080 https_proxy=http://proxy:8080 I'd assume these information exported in an users shell: # export [...] export ftp_proxy=http://proxy:8080 export http_proxy=http://proxy:8080 export https_proxy=http://proxy:8080 Since short this isn't the case any more. Settings in /etc/environmet are just ignored (or read, but not exported).
