Re: EXWM: file or program not found, ls

[Olivier Rojon]

Hej,

my login shell is bash, and I have edited it. Yet, adding the lines you 
have provided did not really help the issue.

I have now written an .xsession file which looks like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 #!/usr/bin/env bash
. /etc/profile &
. ~/.bashrc &
exec exwm
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Unfortunately, this did not do the trick.


There's two things I suspect to be a possible culprit which I am about 
to change:

- I had manually defined PATH in .bashrc, which I believe might have 
overriden other attempts at defining it (even though it contains :$PATH 
at the end)

- I did what is sometimes advised when you install a package, that you 
should add the following lines to your shell:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
GUIX_PROFILE="/home/hapster/.guix-profile"
. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

However, I had not added an "export" in front of "GUIX_PROFILE", which 
might be part of the problem.


But as you can see, I am kind of struggling to find the cause of the 
problem. ;-)
