Change Cinnamon launch shell [Solved]

Post by harlekein »

I am using zsh instead of bash for a while now, but I noticed that any application I start from the Cinnamon menu will start with the bash shell associated. How would I be able to change this?

What do you mean exactly ?
An application doesn't start with any shell.

Hmm.. In this case I am using Sublime Text. I can start it with command line from zsh and it will use zsh as the environment. When I launch it from the menu it will refer to /bin/bash.

So in this case it could be an issue in the application.

Look in Sublime's settings, maybe they allow changing the shell it uses.

Alternatively, since you said you manage to start it the way you want from the command-line, use the menu editor to change sublime's command to what you need.
