I'm trying to get the system to use the Ruby version I've set with RVM. The following commands produce this output:
$ rvm use 1.9.2 --default
Using /usr/share/ruby-rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180
$ rvm current
ruby-1.9.2-p180
$ ruby --version
ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [x86_64-linux]Here's the contents of my PATH: PATH=/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
Also:
$ whereis ruby
ruby: /usr/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby1.8 /usr/lib/ruby /usr/share/man/man1/ruby.1.gz
$ whereis rvm
rvm: /usr/bin/rvm /usr/share/man/man1/rvm.1.gzI assume this is an issue of environmental variables, but I don't really know what to do beyond that.
I've tried rvm system, then rvm list and rvm current only list 1.9.2 with ruby --version listing 1.8.7 still
I've also tried adding export /usr/share/ruby-rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180:$PATH to .bashrc, then restarting and still.

The ruby-1.9.2../bin path needs to be in your PATH in front of any other ruby. rvm use 1.9.2 should be putting it there, not sure why it would not. Mine is a little different since I use a private rvm installation (in my ~/)
Maybe this will help you:
jeremy@octavian:~$ rvm use 1.9.2
Using /home/jeremy/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290
jeremy@octavian:~$ ruby --version
ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09 revision 32553) [i686-linux]
jeremy@octavian:~$ which ruby
/home/jeremy/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin/ruby
jeremy@octavian:~$ echo $PATH
/home/jeremy/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin:/home/jeremy/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290@global/bin:/home/jeremy/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin:/home/jeremy/.rvm/bin:/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
