Public bug reported:
after login to my plasma session I noticed the following strange path in
some XDG env variables missing the : separator
pascal@minipc:~$ env | grep XDG
XDG_VTNR=7
XDG_SESSION_ID=264
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/home/pascal/kde/share:/usr/share//usr/share/xsessions/plasma:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/var/lib/snapd/desktop
XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=KDE
XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user
XDG_SEAT_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE
XDG_SEAT=seat0
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1026
XDG_SESSION_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session5
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-/usr/share/xsessions/plasma:/etc/xdg:/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kf5-settings
pascal@minipc:~$ env | grep PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/pascal/kde/lib:
MANDATORY_PATH=/usr/share/gconf//usr/share/xsessions/plasma.mandatory.path
DEFAULTS_PATH=/usr/share/gconf//usr/share/xsessions/plasma.default.path
XDG_SEAT_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0
XDG_SESSION_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session5
PATH=/usr/lib/ccache:/home/pascal/kde/bin:/home/pascal/bin:/home/pascal/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
As you see the following 2 env variables are not setup correctly :
pascal@minipc:~$ env | grep PATH | grep '//'
MANDATORY_PATH=/usr/share/gconf//usr/share/xsessions/plasma.mandatory.path
DEFAULTS_PATH=/usr/share/gconf//usr/share/xsessions/plasma.default.path
The same for :
pascal@minipc:~$ env | grep XDG | grep '//'
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/home/pascal/kde/share:/usr/share//usr/share/xsessions/plasma:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/:/var/lib/snapd/desktop
You can also notice the 'xdg-/usr/xxx' in the following :
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-/usr/share/xsessions/plasma:/etc/xdg:/usr/share
/kubuntu-default-settings/kf5-settings
For XDG variables they seem to be set up here :
pascal@minipc:~$ dpkg -S /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60x11-common_xdg_path
x11-common: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60x11-common_xdg_path
