Comment 10 for bug 778900

I think you are on the wrong The $PATH should be set in /etc/enviroment. take a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables#Session-wide%20environment%20variables. On my system /etc/enviroment contains just one line:
" PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" ". That seems OK. The file should be processed by pam : http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/sag-pam_env.html . I don't know why that dosn't work but I try to find it out.
And sorry for picking the wrong package.
