Re: Environment variables not working when using systemd

Because systemd does not read environment files from .bashrc. It has its 
own way of getting environment files.

Have a look at the systemd unit file doc [1]. Look out for 
"Environment=" and "EnvironmentFile=" directives.

Another possibility would be to set the env vars systemwide (e.g. in 
/etc/environment) - this however is distribution-dependent.
