What are the Default $PATH Values?
On a default Ubuntu desktop install $PATH
is:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
But in a minimal chroot environment created by debootstrap
, $PATH
only contains:
# echo $PATH
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
Environment path values are stored in .bashrc file in ubuntu.
The system-wide PATH variable is defined in /etc/environment
There are path builtin the shells which is
echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
Then the default path for Ubuntu is:
echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
