Description Sjoerd Mullender 2024-01-10 10:10:09 UTC 
When logging in using lightdm, the initial value for the PATH environment variable is /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin.  It should, however, be /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin, i.e. /bin should be removed (it is a symlink to /usr/bin) and /usr/local/sbin and /usr/sbin should be added.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.login on system using lightdm
2.echo $PATH
3.
Actual Results:  
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

Expected Results:  
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin
Comment 1 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2024-01-10 10:13:31 UTC 
There is no need to touch the path at all. It is already set correctly by the environment, so the only thing that login manager needs to do is not touch it.
