If my memory serves me well, you should be able to create a .profile file in your home directory (~/.profile) and add your exports there.
For example:
Or alternatively, edit /etc/profile, however that might be dangerous as that file is used for nearly all -- if not all -- the terminal sessions that run on the device.
For example:
Code:
echo "export FOO=bar" >> ~/.profile

Have you tried putting it to .bashrc in your home directory?
Something like this:
Something like this:
Code:
export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/MyDocs

Edit: Oops, the following applies to the Nokia N9:
I recently lost ~/.profile due to a corrupt filesystem on /dev/mmcblk0p3.
I found the stock Twitter application did not show any tweets and wrote the following to /var/log/syslog:
Code:
twitter-meego[4859]: CRITICAL-Error: Not found XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable
I managed to find a copy of ~/.profile which think is untouched (I don't recall making any changes here):
Code:
export DISPLAY=':0'
export XDG_DATA_HOME="$HOME/.local/share/"
export XDG_CACHE_HOME="$HOME/.cache"
eval `/usr/bin/aegis-session --sh-syntax --with-ulimit`
if [ -e /etc/profile.d/language.sh ] ; then
. /etc/profile.d/language.sh
fi
Please advise
