Hi,

gfp@Tuxedo ~$ ps $(ps   -p $(pidof Xorg) -o ppid=)
  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND



it shows gdm-42.0 as my display manager
..........................................................................

1114 tty8 Ssl+ 0:00 /gnu/store/58hc6rh72z3r6zqazmavjnwbcyy6gkps-gdm-42.0/libexec/gd

A quick search makes me think gdm sources .xprofile. So adding

source ~/.bash_profile
to ~/.xprofile should work.

this is in my .zprofile file, after adding the second sentence/your proposal

# Honor system-wide environment variables
source /etc/profile
# all Profile beim Start des Displays Managers öffnen
source ~/.bash_profile
..........................................................................

but it didn’t help to enable all profiles at login.


Kind regards

Gottfried

but when starting MATE Desktop all my profiles are not enabled.

graphical sessions environment is not controlled by .bash_profile (or
.profile)

If sddm is used, this statement is false. Does source that file (if bash
is the users shell) and therefore it influenced the environment
variables of all applications started the graphical environment.

Gottfried, what display-manager do you use?

Maybe this command can tell you:
$ ps $(ps   -p $(pidof Xorg) -o ppid=)

Hi,

thanks for help

I have MATE 1.24.1 Desktop
and GDM as display manager

A quick search makes me think gdm sources .xprofile. So adding
source ~/.bash_profile
to ~/.xprofile should work.
