bug#26202: Guix in foreign distributions: setting XDG_DATA_DIRS causes user session to not start |
Date: |
Mon, 20 Mar 2017 23:24:13 -0300 |
User-agent: |
Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/25.1 (gnu/linux) |
* Steps to reproduce
1. Edit "~/.profile" and add:
export GUIX_PROFILE="${HOME}/.guix-profile"
export XDG_DATA_DIRS="${GUIX_PROFILE}/share${XDG_DATA_DIRS:+:}$XDG_DATA_DIRS"
2. Log out and try to log in again.
* Current behavior
The *host's* GNOME Flashback session (gnome-session
--session=gnome-flashback) attempts to start, however, it's aborted
shortly after successful log-in.
"~/.xsession-errors" file shows something similar to:
# Begin of file
gnome-session: GLib-GIO-ERROR: Settings schema
'org.gnome.SessionManager' is not installed.
aborting...
# End of file
* Additional information
- In this case, I'm using Trisquel 7.
- `gnome-session` command is provided by the
"gnome-session-bin", version 3.9.90-0ubuntu12.1+7.0trisquel2.
- Display manager is lightdm (Trisquel 7's default), version
1.10.6-0ubuntu1+7.0trisquel1.
- Being a "~/.profile" setting, the problem is not found unless the user
- logs-out and back in.
* Personal comment
This might become a problem if Guix starts suggesting people to
customize $XDG_DATA_DIRS in their "~/.profile".
Respectfully, Adonay.
