Re: Problem with path removing apps in root session
 
what does "echo $PATH" as root say?
did you try to just reopen a shell as root, maybe it was just your current session that messed up $PATH.

root's path gets set via the file "/root/.profile". you should have these two lines there:
Code:
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
export PATH

How does apt-get purge differ from a normal apt-get remove?

purge removes all files, including configuration.
without --purge, package-specific stuff under f.ex. /etc will not be deleted.

@SubCore:
thank you for your reply :)
Code:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin
if my path should be in /root/.profile file maybe I deleted it involuntarily when I allowed alias ll=ls -la
If your string is a complete tipical root path I append it to my .profile ;)
Please confirm me it
Thank you

Code:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin
that's the user's path, not root. every user has it's own $PATH variable set.
although for a user it's the correct path :)

and yes, the lines i quoted came directly from my /root/.profile, which has been unaltered.

Here's the full content of /root/.profile

Code:
# ~/.profile: executed by Bourne-compatible login shells.

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
  . ~/.bashrc
fi

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
export PATH

This may be a result of using "sudo gainroot" instead of "root" - the PATH you get differs between the two.

Thanks Rob1n, my problem was I deleted .profile file when I added ll alias (I created a new .profile file with only ll alias. Now I added full content thank to kureyon user and it's working. Anyway thank you for your interest! ;) )

preenv is located in extras-devel repository.
I'm not teaching you how to enable that repo since you only want preenv(it's for your own good. Users who doesn't know how to enable that repo is best to stay away from it) so....
Hotlink:
Warning: Installing extras-devel apps/games is extremely dangerous to your device's health. :p
