I have a file .zprofile in my home directory
but not a file: .xprofile

I tried with both to add it to my .zprofile file
did not help.

I did not find a file: ~/login.log

I have  files:
.e-log.log
.e-log.log.old

or they are in a different directory?

------------------------------------------------------------------
in /etc/profile there is:

I don’t know if that helps, so I copied it

> Try chmod +x ~/.xprofile and re-login.

gfp@Tuxedo ~$ chmod +x ~/.xprofile
chmod: Zugriff auf '/home/gfp/.xprofile' nicht möglich: Datei oder 
Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

If I do a:
gfp@Tuxedo ~$ chmod +x ~/.zprofile
gfp@Tuxedo ~$

something was done.

gfp@Tuxedo ~$ env - $(which bash) -l
gfp@Tuxedo /home/gfp$ icecat

gfp@Tuxedo /home/gfp$ chromium

I tried to open icecat and chromium in that shell but it doesn’t work.

hopefully we are one step further

Kind regards
