Hej,
my login shell is bash, and I have edited it. Yet, adding the lines you
have provided did not really help the issue.
I have now written an .xsession file which looks like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/usr/bin/env bash
. /etc/profile &
. ~/.bashrc &
exec exwm
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Unfortunately, this did not do the trick.
There's two things I suspect to be a possible culprit which I am about
to change:
- I had manually defined PATH in .bashrc, which I believe might have
overriden other attempts at defining it (even though it contains :$PATH
at the end)
- I did what is sometimes advised when you install a package, that you
should add the following lines to your shell:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
GUIX_PROFILE="/home/hapster/.guix-profile"
. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
However, I had not added an "export" in front of "GUIX_PROFILE", which
might be part of the problem.
But as you can see, I am kind of struggling to find the cause of the
problem. ;-)
