From within the GUI, I'm seeing this result:
My problem is exactly that this does not happen in the terminal run under the graphical user interface; neither in Ubuntu 16.04.3 or 18.04. – Thomas Arildsen Oct 1 '18 at 11:57
for the env.sh
script which I've added:

However, switching to a virtual console and logging, I can run printenv
, grep the results, and see new variables as defined in the script:
#!/bin/sh
export AccessToken=678
export AccessTokenSecret=wxy
export ApiKey=abc
export ApiSecret=123
I've tried source .bashrc
but that doesn't seem to run the scripts in /etc/profile.d/
. How can I re-load or run those from within the GUI?
I'm using gnome shell and bash; older system:

thufir@dur:~$ lsb_release -a

and:

source /etc/profile.d/env.sh
