General :: Which Environment Variables Not Inherited By Bash Shells
Jan 2, 2011I am using Linux some years, but since I built a LFS, I feel noobish again. Now with the help of BLFS I am setting up my environment and somewhere I incidentally read, that not every variable is inherited by a child Bash shell. As for the $PS1 and $PS2 variables I know, that they are not inherited by non-interactive Bash shells (and there is no reason why they should in my opinion). Well, as for my first thread I hope the title gives enough information on what I want to know. But anyways: Which environment variables are not inherited by Bash shells?

General :: Exporting Environment Variables In Ubuntu?
Jun 2, 2010I know many people have asked about environment variables before, but I am having a hard time dealing with these paths while ensuring I don't mess around with the original settings. How would you go about executing these commands in Ubuntu in terms of environment variables?
put /home/stanley/Downloads/ns-allinone-2.34/bin:/home/stanley/Downloads ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix:/home/stanley/Downloads/ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/unixinto your PATH environment; so that you'll be able to run itm/tclsh wish/xgraph.
IMPORTANT NOTICES:
(1) You MUST put
/home/stanley/Downloads/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13,
/home/stanley/Downloads/ns-allinone-2.34/lib,
into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

General :: Setting (permenant) Environment Variables In 10.0.4
Sep 4, 2010I am running an application which requires setting environment variables to be set.At the moment, the way I am achieving this is by exporting the EV at the command line, and then running the app from the command line.I want to be able to run the app from my menu (it is already a menu item after I installed it).How may I set the env var so that it is always available, so I can just run the app from the menu instead of from the CLI?

General :: Xorg - Set Environment Variables For A Graphical Login?
Mar 18, 2010I'm looking for a way to set arbitrary environment variables for my graphical login on linux. I am not talking about starting a terminal and exporting environment variables within the terminal, because those variables only exist within that one terminal.

In other words, what's the Xorg equivalent of ~/.bash_login?

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Tricking Apps About Current Time With Environment Variables?
May 21, 2010Sometimes it is possible to trick a Linux app by calling it like this:
HOME=/tmp/foo myapp
This would make myapp think /tmp/foo is the home directory, it won't try to get the user id, find its home directory via getpwent(). This is useful when myapp must be forced to dump some of its config files into a non-standard location different than ~.
A similar trick can be done like this: LANG=foo LC_ALL=bar myapp
This is useful when myapp needs to be called once with a different locale without having to make the change persistent by using the export bash built-in or even modify stuff in /etc/profile.
Is it possible to pull the same trick with time and date? The goal is to make an app use another time than the system ones. The final goal - to make timestamps that appear in logs/commit messages not being tied to the system time.

Sep 22, 2011I often need to change a small part of long environment variable (especially, e.g., paths), and do it either by pasting the thing into an editor and changing it there, or the equivalent.

I suppose I could always whip one up, but am hoping there's already something that I'm just not aware of.

General :: Sourcing Variables From ~/.bash.rc And Keeping Them Across Logouts
Sep 7, 2011I've been writing a bunch of bash scripts to make possible non-interactive, secure, cron-based SVN checkouts with CollabNet's SVN client and GNOME Keyring Daemon (aka GKD) and one of the scripts was designed to start GKD, harvest its output, essentially a couple of environment variables, and export those variables in shell of a user the script is run as. All upon user login by sourcing a bash script in ~/.bashrc.The problem is that those environment variables will not be exported, because the script is being run in a sub-shell that exits upon it completion and environment variables get unset for good.Well, the question is how can those variables be set permanently, meaning they're exported and kept untouched even across login-logout sessions?

Debian :: Python 2.7 Can't See OS Environment Variables
Aug 23, 2015I'm trying to compile Ardour on jessie amd64 using the Debian source code (there's already an ardour package but I want to use different compile options). I've applied the Debian patches and have all the required dependencies installed.
Scons quits with a KeyError message from python2.7 saying that os.environ['DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS'] is not defined.
Checking with 'dpkg-archtecture -l' shows that DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS=linux, but 'print os.environ["DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS"]' in python says that name 'os' is not defined. The scons script has 'import os' at the top so it should be seeing it.
How do I make this visible to python (I'm assuming this problem is specific to the jessie python2.7 installation and not python in general)?
