Details
Description:
LightDM does not source all of the login shell's startup files, only the sh/bash specific ~/.profile. This means that environment variables and etc. defined in e.g. ~/.zprofile are not set in the graphical session.
Compare https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/865bcec7eee243d2720b37a4037d4c30ca4be315/trunk/Xsession with https://github.com/sddm/sddm/blob/develop/data/scripts/Xsession .
Please make the shipped Xsession file source the login shell's startup files. See the attached diff which uses a snippet from SDDM's Xsession file.
Additional info:
- package version(s)
- config and/or log files etc.
- link to upstream bug report, if any lightdm 1:1.32.0-4 https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LightDM#Environment_variables
Steps to reproduce: With zsh as the login shell, set an environment variable in ~/.zprofile and login via LightDM.
