Public bug reported: I found a strange problem. I set an environment variable in /etc/profile
But when the computer rebooted, this variable hasn't been set. I have to manually use "source" command to set it. And the "source" could work. How could this happen? And how to fix it? Here is the shell log: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/forrest/work/cs/image/prj/leaf/distrib$ export | grep LD_LIBRARY_PATH [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/forrest/work/cs/image/prj/leaf/distrib$ source /etc/profile [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/forrest/work/cs/image/prj/leaf/distrib$ export | grep LD_LIBRARY_PATH declare -x LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/forrest/vbox-ose-1.3.8/out/linux.x86/release/bin:/forrest/work/cs/image/prj/leaf/distrib/v75/runtime/glnx86:/forrest/work/cs/image/prj/leaf/distrib/v75/sys/os/glnx86:/forrest/work/cs/image/prj/leaf/distrib/v75/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre1.5.0/lib/i386/native_threads:/forrest/work/cs/image/prj/leaf/distrib/v75/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre1.5.0/lib/i386/server:/forrest/work/cs/image/prj/leaf/distrib/v75/sys/java/jre/glnx86/jre1.5.0/lib/i386" I am using Ubuntu 7.04 beta. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- 7.04, can't set environment variable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107510 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
