Re: In Stretch, Gnome ignores umask setting in ~/.profile



Is the issue I'm experiencing related to this systemd bug? I didn't understand a lot of what was said: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6077

This is a real problem for me. Is everyone who's using Stretch just creating documents that are readable by everyone? I guess this isn't as big an issue if only one person uses the computer. But it still represents a security/privacy issue and becomes use-prohibitive with multiple users.

I'm surprised there isn't a way to set umask in gnome on debian.

Due to a bug in Gnome 3.22 (used in Stretch), I've had to revert back to using Jessie.

In Stretch (with Gnome 3.22), Gnome ignores the umask setting found in ~/.profile. The umask used by gnome results in all files created with rw-r--r--, which means everything is readable by everyone.

This means I cannot run the OS with Gnome as this situation is unacceptable.

Does anybody know a work around for this? Or is this bug likely to be fixed? My alternatives would seem to be to use a different DE or continue to use Jessie.
