Sorry, I'm a tad confused here, and very new.
When I try to run fdisk, or other similar commands found in /sbin, from the terminal... it says they aren't found.
If I run /sbin/fdisk , the command works fine. I am also not able to reboot or shut down the pc unless I do so from the terminal - /"sbin/reboot"
I can change my path within the terminal, and fdisk works fine on its own, but obviously, once I close the terminal, that change goes away.
The path in my /etc/profile is as follows:
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"
export PATH
It looks to me like /sbin is there just fine, but what do I know.
This change happened after installed lightDM, which otherwise works flawlessly.
Thanks for any help

Though I was trying to find that thread again, there isn't actually a solution there for my problem.
I am launching via inittab using the same:
x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/lightdm >& /dev/nullmentioned in the thread.

What version are you using?
Have you read the comments on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40708 ?

Sorry, I'm a total idiot today. I couldn't remember where I read that stuff (the comments). Anyway, before coming back here, I fixed the /sbin issue, as well as the shutdown/reboot issue with oblogout, but I don't think they are the best solutions. (Adding path to bash.bashrc, and adding /sbin/ to oblogout.conf)
Maybe I will try another DM instead. This is just my first shot at anything linux, so.. I'm having fun!
Thank you
