How can I create a systewide environment as defined in the wrapper script?

[woweil]

Hi all,

does someone have an idea how I can set the defined environment in wrapper script systemwide?

I have tried this with the .xsession in this way:

!/bin/sh

APULSEPATH="/usr/lib64/apulse:/usr/lib/apulse" export APULSEPATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$APULSEPATH${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH} exec "$@^ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

But that does not work. I do not see the defined values with the command env; also firefox tells me to use pulseaudio. If I invoke firefox with apulse then the sound works.

Many thanks for tips.

Greetings Wolfram

I would strongly suggest to avoid enabling apulse system-wide, as it's far from a complete implementation of PulseAudio API. But if you want to do that anyway, it's easier to just copy (or move) libraries from /usr/lib64/apulse and /usr/lib/apulse to /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib correspondingly.

Using of LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is a way to say dynamic linker where to look for the libraries requested by application. If you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH system-wide, its the same as adding another directory to /etc/ld.so.conf.

Many thanks.

Your suggestion works. I even could deinstall the regarding libs of the distribution (Fedora). After that I have excluded them from being installed.

At least Firefox 57works like a charme.
