Profile not executing at login. $PATH variable not getting set
by unueco from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4RTP5)
Greetings!
It seems that neither /etc/profile nor /home/unueco/.profile are executing.
I have lines of code which set the $PATH environmental variable. But it is not happening.
Just to check, I added a line:
touch profilewasrun
to each file assuming that, if it ran, I'd have an empty file with that name in the respective directory. No file was created.
I've run out of ideas!!
How is it possible neither profile is being run?
I'm obiously open to suggestions!! :-)
