command line - Where is PATH setup in Ubuntu 16.10 bash shell? - Ask Ubuntu
i can't seem determine bash path
environment variable getting setup on fresh ubuntu 16.10 install.
i have tried placing echo $path
statements @ top of ~/.bashrc
, /etc/bash.bashrc
. both echo statements executed, these files loading properly, but, in both cases path
contains following:
/home/carl/bin:/home/carl/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
the first entries (/home/carl/bin:/home/carl/.local/bin
) i'm trying track down. i'm not sure of values set since changing /etc/environment
seems have no effect.
the path
setup when /etc/profile
executes when using login shell , unaffected changes /etc/environment
.
turns out path being persisted display manager loading ~/.profile
, (and /etc/profile
, /etc/environment
) when creating desktop session. means changes files aren't going reflect in new bash sessions , require logging out take effect.
