/etc/login.defs
/etc/environment
~/.pam_environment
~/.bash_profile
~/.bash_login
~/.profile
/etc/profile.d

/etc/zshenv
~/.zshenv
/etc/zprofile
~/.zprofile
/etc/zlogin
/.zlogin

that/this whole system is broke? it has been upgraded to 23.04 and I've added 3 other users and let it set, then I'm finding out when I logout then try to log in again I lose my login, switch tty log in then ls the dir and get this error ls is in user bin. (every thing is being associated to the actual users bin)

now I got a figure out how to fix PATH as this screw up is applying across the user land (?)

I got it fixed, I don't know exactly what it was that was causing it, but I delete my entire bin in home then it logged in like it should then I added back into bin only the scripts I use regularly and logged out then in and it works like it should now. something strange in a script I wrote somewhere.

it doesn't matter anymore. this Ubunututu got me so I cannot login now, I cannot even go into a ROOT GUI login because it looks like there login manager does not work like that because #^$*#^$*@^*$@ asses figured no one should even learn how to use root so they hide it as best they can. lalalala anyways I am about to dump this distro again.

I have not used Ubuntu Studio but I imagine it is similar to Kubuntu.
If you want to enable root login into the GUI, it is easy.

1.
You should create a password for the root account if you have not done so already.
sudo passwd root

2. You will need to comment out a line from /etc/pam.d/sddm
You can open it from the command line
sudo nano /etc/pam.d/sddm

3.
At the near top of that file, comment out this line
auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet_success

To save the file, press Ctrl-O
To quit nano, press Ctrl-X

Now, you can log out and log from the GUI using the username = root
