Incomplete PATH

Help and Support
1

Hallo,

before I can execute most commands on my OSMC I have to run

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

Why is this and what is the best way to fix this?

Can you give an example command?

It’s not normal and must be related to a specific change on your system

3

Have you made any changes to your .bashrc or .profile files?

The default $PATH comes from /etc/profile and then the addition of further entries from /etc/profile.d/100-add-sbin.sh and /etc/profile.d/104-add-osmc-bin.sh but if you have incorrectly set the $PATH in your .bashrc or .profile it’s easy to overwrite these.

4

How are you logging in (via SSH?) and what user are you logging in as?

At this point we need more information from the OP.
