[Solved] Where does this path in PATH come from?

dxxvi · 2015-08-10 07:02:25

Hi Everybody,

My $HOME variable is /home/ly. When I start my xfce4-terminal, the PATH is

/home/ly/maven-3.1.1/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl

My ~/.bashrc is

#
# ~/.bashrc
#

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[[ $- != *i* ]] && return

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '

export EDITOR="vi"

My ~/.bash_profile is

export EDITOR=vi
export M2_HOME=$HOME/maven-3.3.3
export GRADLE_HOME=$HOME/gradle
export PATH=$M2_HOME/bin:$GRADLE_HOME/bin:$PATH

My /etc/bash.bashrc is

#
# /etc/bash.bashrc
#

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[[ $- != *i* ]] && return

PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
PS2='> '
PS3='> '
PS4='+ '

case ${TERM} in
  xterm*|rxvt*|Eterm|aterm|kterm|gnome*)
    PROMPT_COMMAND=${PROMPT_COMMAND:+$PROMPT_COMMAND; }'printf "\033]0;%s@%s:%s\007" "${USER}" "${HOSTNAME%%.*}" "${PWD/#$HOME/\~}"'

    ;;
  screen)
    PROMPT_COMMAND=${PROMPT_COMMAND:+$PROMPT_COMMAND; }'printf "\033_%s@%s:%s\033\\" "${USER}" "${HOSTNAME%%.*}" "${PWD/#$HOME/\~}"'
    ;;
esac

[ -r /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion   ] && . /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion

I wonder where the /home/ly/maven-3.1.1/bin comes from.

Thanks.

Solved: The reason for everything is that I used maven-3.1.1 before, had it in .bash_profile, then I upgraded it to maven-3.3.3, modified .bash_profile but didn't log out. That happened about 6 weeks ago and now I forgot I did that.

What have you got in /etc/profile.d/? And how do you start xfce?

karol · 2015-08-10 10:25:36

If the above doesn't shed any light on the issue, try brute force:

sudo ag maven /etc

Beware, that ag does not search hidden files (DOT filename) by default. It also didn't find my test words in pacnew files.

My /etc/profile.d/ has gpm.sh jre.csh jre.sh locale.sh perlbin.csh perlbin.sh vte.sh and none of those files has anything related to maven. One more strange thing is that my ~/.bash_profile didn't seem to be executed.
I use openbox and start xfce4-terminal with this line in ~/.config/openbox/autostart

( sleep 1s && /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal ) &

That command returns nothing. By the way, does the ag maven /etc give anything different from find /etc -type f | xargs grep maven ?

Thanks.

Then how do you start openbox or more general how do you start X with whatever environment you use? DMs don't always respect your $SHELL and only execute ~/.profile and/or ~/.xprofile.

Awebb · 2015-08-10 11:14:45

Don't pipe xargs grep, use -exec:

find /etc -type f -exec grep -l $SEARCHTERM {} \;

The -l grep switch outputs the filename instead of the text line. Was it -l? Man yourself. The output of ag is indeed very different. Not only does display and color the text, it searches for all combinations of your search term (upper/lowercase), but does not search hidden files and non-text files by default.

My computer starts into the command prompt, then I run startx to start openbox. My ~/.xinitrc is exec openbox-session.

Thanks for that.

Does anybody have any other idea why maven-3.1.1 is in my PATH and why .bash_profile is not executed?

Thanks for that link. I just read it but still don't know how to solve my issue. Could you please clarify a little bit?

karol · 2015-08-11 01:48:18

You can check htop or run

pgrep -at tty1 bash

assuming you start on tty1.
If you're using systemd, try

loginctl session-status

What's the output of

ls ~/.profile* ~/.bash*

boban_dj · 2015-08-11 05:49:01

Maybe you installed maven 2 times, once from the official packages, once just make manual in $HOME dir, or upgraded? Did you manually enter in .bash_profile the exports?
Look at the older version PKGBUILD for maven 3.1.1, where the PATH is being exported to

I don't install the maven package. pacman -Q | grep maven returns nothing. The one in $HOME was downloaded manually and unzipped there.

Yes, I did.

Does anybody have any idea? Thanks.
