So, does garuda not like it when I add .local/bin to the $PATH?

DuendeInexistente · March 28, 2025, 5:54am

New to garuda. .localbin doesn’t seem to be in the path, so I added it in my bash config. Applications don’t register it (I need them to notice, specifically, apps installed via pipx, which go there) so I went one step further and added it to /etc/environment. And…

/usr/share/doc/find-the-command/ftc.fish (line 3): The call stack limit has been exceeded. Do you have an accidental infinite loop?

Fish don’t like it none. It’s a lot longer but it’s all fish plugins complaining about “infinite loops”, I’m guessing path nested in itself?

So what’s the deal? Is there any way to add it to the path that won’t break the terminal?

Perfunctionary inxie as it seems to be a requirement.

Hi

im not sure if i got you right but to this part here:

(I need them to notice, specifically, apps installed via pipx, which go there) so I went one step further and added it to /etc/environment. And…

did you mean this ?

DuendeInexistente · March 28, 2025, 7:20am

Yep. And adding export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH to .profile, or /etc/environment freaks out the default shell.

Duke187 · March 28, 2025, 7:40am

okay? What do you mean with it freaks out the default shell ? which actions you did?

did install these fresh with pipx

I already said what, it makes every plugin used by the default shell spit out infinite loop errors.

BluishHumility · March 28, 2025, 5:55pm

If you are using Fish, it should be already added to PATH unless you took these lines out of your Fish config: garuda-fish-config/config.fish · main · Garuda Linux 🦅 / PKGBUILDs · GitLab

I would not do that, it should be fairly easy to set up in the shell without setting this system-wide. Also you do not use export in /etc/environment, you just set the values of the variables directly. And you cannot use the $PATH variable (or any other shell variable expansion) inside the /etc/environment file.

Try setting your system back as it was, and let’s first of all take a look at what the PATH actually is.

echo $PATH

DuendeInexistente · March 28, 2025, 5:58pm

I already have .local/bin in the shell’s path. I’m trying to make it systemwide so that, for example, mpv sees yt-dlp installed through pip.

BluishHumility · March 28, 2025, 6:15pm

If you want to add ~/.local/bin to PATH system-wide by adding it to /etc/environment, you need to set it explicitly without using shell variables.

For example:

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/home/Duendelnexistente/.local/bin"

But in general, you should not be adding system-wide settings that depend on things you are keeping in your user’s home directory.

An easier and cleaner solution would be to add a symlink to /usr/local/bin, which is already on PATH and is generally a more appropriate place to keep custom binaries you want to be accessible system-wide.

sudo ln -s ~/.local/bin/yt-dlp /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

Duke187 · March 28, 2025, 10:44pm

Yes its like BluishHumility says.

Its how you installed pipx correctly for using systemwide and adding the path correctly.

i did it a bit others on my kde with the terminal. ive downloaded a video and started also the video over the terminal without issues.
