Hello. i have always had trouble with setting up snap and paths/global variables in a minimal window manager environment on debian.
This is what I do:
now any snap I install WILL NOT be in PATH no matter how many times i restart. i use icewm and lightdm.
the file that should take care of this is ins /etc/profile.d and it will NOT be executed on gui logins. executing /etc/profile from .bashrc seems far fetched to me.
even so, that won't fix the menu issue. i would need to symlink the applications folder
the ONLY way i found this to source .profile in .xsessionrc and in turn source /etc/profile in .profile. is this the correct approach? is it alright to source /etc/profile on gui login ? i feel like i am going insane but i am finally relieved that something actually works.
