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. ### Attachments [lightdm.diff](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/lightdm/uploads/59a1443b777c2dd0666c23723012a397/lightdm.diff)
