  • Have you checked the PATH variable has necessary bin paths ? Commented Jun 30, 2014 at 7:04
  • @Tingrammer Sorry I forgot to add that, yes, the /home/user/.local/bin/ path is always present in the $PATH var. Commented Jun 30, 2014 at 7:28
  • @arielnmz - could you open your terminal via Thunar's context menu and then output here of the command echo $PATH? By default terminal opens in the home directory, so, for example, it probably would work if you put ./.local/bin instead of ~/.local/bin. Commented Jun 30, 2014 at 8:41
  • You should never use relative paths in your $PATH statement. commands and scripts can change the working directory. Also $HOME is safer then ~. Commented Jun 30, 2014 at 11:14
  • "So the question now is: why does the context menu command (which is the same as the normal command) somehow make my terminal to be launched as only interactive and not as a login terminal?" Add a new question for this. Commented Jun 30, 2014 at 19:44
