    Here is the problem.

    I had been running X before last night. I switched to Wayland just before knocking off. When I started again today I was now running Wayland. I just now switched back to X and now my icon for kpat works properly.

    Is there some issue with the Icons-Only Task Manager under Wayland?

    I was going back to Wayland because it seems important Distros are dropping X. I should be running under Wayland because at some point I will have to. I am back on X for now.

    I have included this line in my .bash_profile:

    export PATH=“$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games”

    In the very last line.

    My PATH still looks like this:

    rhudson@adam:~$ echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

    What could be changing my path after .bash_profile gets its say?

    I am also adding it now to the last line of .bashrc

    I have only worked with .txt files and .odt (libre Office files) for the past few days. I have done updates as offered, but I have not installed anything, and I have not edited any system file as far as I can remember (before this morning, see below for a troubleshooting step taken).

    And I have played Minecraft and watched Youtube and Freetube.

    When I noticed this happening (by trying to launch kpat this morning) I went to look at /etc/profile and added /etc/games to the id=0 part of the path setting and that did not help any so I removed it again. - something is setting the path to SU’s path along the way but I don’t know what.

    I can only speak for myself - I don’t want to have to package and mail the things I am getting rid of. They don’t have much monetary value, but I feel good someone needed it and is using it.

    There are scams that sellers have to deal with like the scammer that will send a bogus check to pay for the thing and ask for change back. You deposit the check and a small number of weeks later your bank takes back the money because the check was bad. The scammer gets their ‘change’ back and the item they bought. You get left with a possibly negative bank account.

    It’s like the Ikea lamp commercial. A person has a well-used lamp they have had for a long time. They go to Ikea and find a new lamp that is better and nicer. In the next scene, the old lamp is left on the curb. In the rain. alone. abandoned. The Ikea person comes on and asks “Do you feel bad for the old lamp?”

    I only hope we eventually have some of the local communities that were subreddits of yore - like SacramentoBuyNothing - a place to share your old lam so it does not have to sit out in the rain at the curb.
