From within the GUI, I'm seeing this result:

My problem is exactly that this does not happen in the terminal run under the graphical user interface; neither in Ubuntu 16.04.3 or 18.04. – Thomas Arildsen Oct 1 '18 at 11:57

for the env.sh script which I've added:

thufir@dur:~$ 
thufir@dur:~$ ll /etc/profile.d/

thufir@dur:~$ 

However, switching to a virtual console and logging, I can run printenv, grep the results, and see new variables as defined in the script:

#!/bin/sh
export AccessToken=678
export AccessTokenSecret=wxy
export ApiKey=abc
export ApiSecret=123

I've tried source .bashrc but that doesn't seem to run the scripts in /etc/profile.d/. How can I re-load or run those from within the GUI?

I'm using gnome shell and bash; older system:

thufir@dur:~$ 
thufir@dur:~$ lsb_release -a

thufir@dur:~$ 

and:

thufir@dur:~$ 
thufir@dur:~$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE 
x11
thufir@dur:~$
