[FreeNX-kNX] FreeNX and user's specific environment files (e.g., .bashrc)

[Mark Dawson]

There’s a developer here who connects with NoMachine using nx and always has to source his .bashrc when he logs in this way as opposed to when he logs in via ssh.

Sounds simple, but it's a bit messy.

FreeNX does a ssh to user at localhost
which
does source /etc/profile  etc  then  /etc/bash.bashrc
and then ~/.bashrc for the user,
so
any exported ~/.bashrc variables etc should work their way
through to your user's sessions . . .

unless

they are then overwritten by your /etc/profile ~/.bash_profile (etc.)
which
are ALL sourced again later (ie. not in quite the correct way),
when
the chosen application (xterm, KDE, Gnome) is run.
        (you can switch the late run of /etc/profile off if it is
        messing up)


What exactly is going wrong ???

I can see some user env-variables being re-set back to
/etc/profile defaults

but why do you think it isn't running .bashrc at all ????



You could try setting

        ENABLE_SOURCE_BASH_PROFILE=0

in

         /etc/nxserver/node.conf

to see if it sorts anything out.

Please let us know either way.
