| mterry | om26er: hello! happy Monday :) | 14:16 |
| om26er | hah! | 14:17 |
| om26er | mterry: How do I restart unity8 session after adding a global environment variable on desktop ? | 14:17 |
| mterry | om26er: where did you set the env var? | 14:18 |
| mterry | (usually "restart unity8" will restart unity8 in your session | 14:18 |
| om26er | mterry: on a desktop, that kind of logs us out | 14:18 |
| mterry | does it? I think upstart is the root session process, restarting u8 shouldn't stop lightdm session? | 14:19 |
| om26er | mterry: through systemctl | 14:19 |
| om26er | mterry: apparently 'restart unity8' does not finish because the terminal is killed as soon as the unity8 server is stopped. | 14:19 |
| om26er | It worked fine when we were ssh'ing into a touch device but when we are running a test on a desktop itself, the restart of unity8 is proving to be catastrophic | 14:20 |
| mterry | om26er: yeah I guess if you do it through the apps, that would happen -- restarting u8 kills all the apps | 14:20 |
| mterry | om26er: does it work if you do it in VT terminal outside of the session? | 14:21 |
| om26er | mterry: haven't tried, but I am thinking of something like printing a message to user that they need to add an environment variable and restart the session to enable testability. | 14:21 |
| om26er | restart as in logout/login. | 14:22 |
| om26er | mterry: my question, where shall I export my variable, is there a lightdm friendly place ? | 14:23 |
| mterry | Yeah I guess logout/login would work, but you'd have to set the env var somewhere where it would et picked up... | 14:23 |
| mterry | om26er: uh I believe /etc/profile.d/* and ~/.profile get read | 14:24 |

| greyback | om26er: what env var are you adding? | 14:32 |
| om26er | greyback: QT_LOAD_TESTABILITY=1 | 14:32 |
| greyback | om26er: so you are testing unity8? | 14:33 |
| om26er | greyback: yes, directly and indirectly. | 14:33 |
| om26er | greyback: we have a test suite (lp:ubuntu-system-tests) that works on phone/tablet, but to enable that on desktop, some changes like this need to be made. | 14:34 |
| greyback | om26er: ok. Yeah short-term you'd need to detach the restart unity8 command from the terminal, as stopping unity8 will kill that terminal. Maybe the "disown" command will help you? | 14:35 |
| om26er | greyback: TIL disown is a command, will look into that. Whats the long-term solution ? ;) | 14:38 |
