May 4, 2023 at 20:44 comment added Rmano @Arber I think that's worth a new question....
May 4, 2023 at 20:25 comment added Arber But what if the graphic application changed it‘s environment variables (e.g. due some settings)? Isn‘t there a way to check out the actual environment variables of any process by it‘s PID?

adding suggested change
Apr 28, 2019 at 11:10 comment added Mike Nakis the right command to execute nowadays (Ubuntu 18.04) is gnome-terminal -- bash --noprofile --norc
Apr 17, 2018 at 15:06 comment added Rmano @Tim basically it's just a way to have a shell without anything more than the environment variables available to the graphic environment. A standard terminal will read (or re-read) .bashrc for example...
Apr 17, 2018 at 14:49 comment added Tim Thanks. Did you recommend xterm -e bash --noprofile --norc because the startup files are not read and executed when Ubuntu is started with graphical interface ? See askubuntu.com/q/1025845/1471

Jan 2, 2014 at 17:06 comment added Gunnar Hjalmarsson Thanks for a very useful answer! I just linked to it from help.ubuntu.com/community/…
Oct 21, 2013 at 20:36 comment added Rmano Yes --- but then for CLI only the previous answer is ok. I was just pointing out that sometime you need to check environment variables available to application started by the graphical environment, which is not the same set you see when you start a terminal in it. For example, if you are trying to understand why your Kile app can't compile a LaTeX file, while in a terminal you can, the trick I posted here will help a lot.
