Can't log in to GNOME after upgrade (raring -> saucy)

Question

I am using Stripe as a payment gateway for a site i designed. I have been able to create and charge customers however, I want to also store the customer ids in my database. How can i retrieve the customer id? here is my code snippet:

....

// Create a Customer
      $customer = \Stripe\Customer::create(array(
          'email' => $email,
          'card'  => $token,
          //'address_line1' =  $addr1 . " ". $addr2 . " ". $city . " " . " " .$country ,
          //'address_zip' = $postcode,
          'description' =>'Partnership' . " " . $fname . " " . $lname
      ));


      // Charge the Customer instead of the card
      $charge = \Stripe\Charge::create(array(
          'customer' => $customer->id,
          'amount'   => $amount,
          'currency' => 'gbp',
           "metadata" => array("order_id" => "6735")
      ));

     //retrieve customer id
     $customerId = \Stripe\Charge::retrieve($charge['customer']);

This is the error message I got:

Notice: Undefined variable: charge 

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Stripe\Error\InvalidRequest' with message 'Could not determine which URL to request: Stripe\Charge instance has invalid ID: ' in ....

Solution

Someone mangled with PATH.

Edit your .profile and add to the end:

PATH="/sbin:/usr/sbin:$PATH"

Then restart lightdm:

sudo service lightdm restart

It's maybe the bug stated by darkhole

How did you solve this? I need a little help with it

Here it is. There are two files (+ old one) and they are identical. However, as far as I can tell when I looked into it, it was like this.

Oh, I've got no domain controller on my network.

You saved my day, the problem was with the PATH. This bug seems more relevant. I'd add though that the PATH to be expected is in /etc/environment.

Fantastic, this saved my ass! I had played with /etc/environment during the update, as I had added stuff there previously and it was causing other problems. I had disabled the whole PATH= line and the sbin stuff were gone. Not sure if the OP had done exactly the same.

I would upvote this 10,000 times if I could. This fixed the problems I have been having for days now!
