Ubuntu :: Set Environment Variable In A Launcher?

Dec 1, 2010

I am trying to create a launcher which runs virtual box from a custom config directory. For this I have to set an environment variable first then call VirtualBox command. From terminal it looks like:

Code:
helena@mint ~ $ export VBOX_USER_HOME=/mnt/shared/VirtualBox/
helena@mint ~ $ nohup VirtualBox > /dev/null 2> /dev/null &

If I have to create a shortcut for this, I am not sure how to define variable & call the command in a single command. There are some examples on:

[URL]

Code:
"DISPLAY=:0 xterm"

but when I try this, it wont work. My test.Desktop entry (I have started x on :1):

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0

pCode]....

Ubuntu :: Custom Keyboard Shortcut Environment Has Different SSH_AUTH_SOCK Than Launcher

Dec 15, 2010

If I launch "Terminal" from the Main Menu under Accessories, the environment includes the correct SSH_AUTH_SOCK variable:

Code:
declare -x SSH_AUTH_SOCK="/tmp/keyring-M9jm0W/ssh"

The same is true if I launch a terminal from the default keyboard shortcut ("Run a terminal"). However, if I create a custom keyboard shortcut (System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts) which simply executes 'gnome-terminal' the SSH_AUTH_SOCK variable is quite different:

Code:
declare -x SSH_AUTH_SOCK="/tmp/ssh-QmxIEa1830/agent.1830"

This causes my shortcut to ssh to a remote host to prompt for a passphrase (thus defeating the purpose of gnome-keyring in this case).

Ubuntu :: How To Set A Environment Variable For Gnome

Jun 19, 2010

I'm trying to configure subclipse with JAVAHL for ganymede. I have everything installed and the right version of the JAVAHL.

I have seen that a lot of people uses java.library.path in the eclipse.ini file to set it up or just write a script for launching eclipse.

I have read about the .gnomerc file but i couldn't find it or create one and make it work. I'm using a 9.04 ubuntu.. is there anyway to configure an environment variable for gnome? What i want is just click on the shotcut and have it working, not having to run a script or all that stuff.

Debian :: Cannot Add Environment Variable

Apr 27, 2015

I'm trying to add 2 new environment variables (Debian . I have created a "/etc/profile.d/java.sh" file and in it I have added these lines (and just for the record, I've also tried adding those line to the profile file with the same results as explained below).

Code: Select allexport XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Compiler_Runtime/v83/X11/app-defaults

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Compiler_Runtime/v83/runtime/glnxa64:/usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Compiler_Runtime/v83/bin/glnxa64:/usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Compiler_Runtime/v83/sys/os/glnxa64:/usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Compiler_Runtime/v85/runtime/glnxa64:/usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Compiler_Runtime/v85/bin/glnxa64:/usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Compiler_Runtime/v85/sys/os/glnxa64

The first variable "XAPPLRESDIR" is added just fine (I check by doing echo $XAPPLRESDIR). The second variable is not added. Here's what I discovered though, if I change the variable name to LD_LIBRARY_PATK (I change the word "path" into something else) then it works just fine... So how am I supposed to add this variable? I need it to be named just that...

Slackware :: Environment Variable Being Set Twice?

In an xterm window, the CLASSPATH consists of two of every intended entry.In jre.sh I am doing aCode:export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/many/paths/to/jarsSo I'm guessing this is getting run twice in the xterm case. Can someone explain what's going on here and what I should do to remedy this?

Ubuntu :: Put An Environment Variable Back To Its Default?

Mar 2, 2010

I am happy to say that after almost a week of wandering around the INTERNET and posting desperate questions to our Ubuntu forums on how to set paths etc., I have finally begun to understand just how environment variables and path setting works. I must say, it wasn't all reading this or that, but rather making changes to my paths that helped me to understand. Anyway, if anyone who does not understand environment variables is reading this, then I recommend reading this

HTML Code:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/environment/paths.html
and this
HTML Code:
http://www.belugalake.com/java/pathsetting.html

OK- I have 1 last question for my fellow linux users. Lets say I opened up $HOME /.profile and did some editing, and later decided to undo all of my changes but I forgot exactly what changes I made so now I want to set the default in there. How would I accomplish this? How do I set the defaults for any ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc type of files that I change.

Ubuntu :: Put Environment Variable In A Launch Button?

Apr 30, 2011

I use Emacs and there's a bug that highlights everything whenever you use the ver scroll bar with your mouse. (My bad: Only wimps use Emacs in a window.) The workaround is to start Emacs with this on a command line:

Code: $ GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 emacs where "$" is the shell prompt. Q: how can I put this environment variable in the Emacs lauch icon? Or how/where can I put this in a .bash* file and have it activated (without relogging in)? I've forgotten so much of my Unix cave man skills with Ubuntu. . .

Programming :: Makefile - No CXX Environment Variable

Jan 6, 2010

When I put a "test" target in my Makefile containing
Code:
@echo "CXX= $(CXX)"
it tells me "CXX= g++".
But I have nothing in the Makefile assigning any value to CXX, and as far as I can tell I have no CXX environment variable (no "CXX" appears when I run the shell command "env", and "echo $CXX" returns a blank line. So where's the g++ value coming from. Is this just built into Gnu Make, or is there a configuration file for make somewhere?

Ubuntu :: One Exclude Ip Addresses In The Proxy Environment Variable?

I have set my environment variable for a proxy server as such [URL].. which works fine. wget rsync etc all use this proxy automatically. The problem is when I access other 10.x.x.x addresses on my private network all access goes through the proxy and is slow. How can I exclude 10.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1 from the proxy server so that all applications obey this?

General :: Changing The Environment Variable Permanently In Ubuntu 10.10

Apr 30, 2011

I want to make change to environment PATH system wide. Because I have program called "md5". I want to execute it from anywhere (i.e any directory).

My md5 program is located at "/home/ahuq/MappingServer/md5_program". So what I did was to put: "export PATH=$PATH:/home/ahuq/MappingServer/md5_program" in the running SHELL.

This only makes temporary changes and lets me run the "md5" program from anywhere temporarily.

But I want to make this change permanent. So what I did was to put the "PATH=$PATH:/home/ahuq/MappingServer/md5_program" line into the "/etc/environment" file.

This screwed everything up and then for a while I couldn't execute anything from SHELL. I knew the absolute path of "nano" editor and used it to modify the file (i.e. /etc/environment) back to its original condition.

This fixed the problem and now I can run programs like "ls" from the SHELL.

But still I need a way to permanently add the path of "md5" to the environment. How can I do this in Ubuntu 10.10? Which file needs to edited?

Do I just logout or do I have to restart the system to make the changes active?

Debian :: Setting PATH Environment Variable

May 19, 2015

I have been trying to change my PATH environment variable to no avail. I am using Jessie i386 with MATE. Using my .bashrc file works but not well because with subshells the modifications get repeated. I want the change to occur on login.

I tried modifying ~/.profile ~/.bash_profile /etc/profile and /etc/environment and one or two others but in no case did my change get picked up even after logging out and in again and even after rebooting. I searched the Internet and found each of the above places to make the change but they don't seem to work with Jessie.

Where do I make the necessary change?

General :: Adjusting The PKG_CONFIG_PATH Environment Variable?

Sep 14, 2010

i ran into a problem while isntalling xine player on fedora 11, i first of all installed its core engine 'xine-lib' successfully with standard prefix! when i run the './configure' for its frontend (xine-ui) it gives this error.

No package 'libxine' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XINE_CFLAGS and XINE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.See the pkg-config man page for more details.

General :: Environment Variable And Current Shell

May 24, 2010

I am using Red Hat Linux Enterprise 5. I know the theory that -- using export to set environment variable, the environment variable will apply to current and child environment, but without using export to set environment variable, the environment variable will only apply to the current environment. What is the exact definition of "child environment" and "current environment"? For example,

Code:
$ var1=123
$ echo "Hello [$var1]"
The value of var1 (which is 123) is printed in shell, but I think echo is a command invoked by current shell, and it (the echo command) should be a child environment of current shell and the value of var1 should not (because not using export var1=123) impact echo.
