same behavior here see bug 173463 At least for now the following patch:

allows to run ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile. This clearly is not doing
anything useful with ssh_agent.
Why isn't gdm using the system Xsession? Please change it to do that instead. Let me know if there is a problem with the system one so it can be fixed, rather than shipping multiple inconsistent versions. TIA *** Bug 173463 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 174157 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Changing to: exec -l $SHELL -c "otherstuff" in the gdm Xsession fixes it for me. The gdm/Xsession script also will not look for .xinitrc at all, and will only execute a .xsession if it is found and executable, AND "custom" (rather than "default") is given from the GDM login. However "custom" is not provided and should not be needed to handle a users ".xsession" script. The old xdm/Xsession will execute it, or even exec a bash on it! This is not good!

Hi, Yea we should probably just go back to the old one. I'll have a look sometime this week. Setting BaseXsession=/etc/X11/xinit/Xsession in gdm.conf seems to be working well here. Hey guys, should be fixed in tomorrow's rawhide (and test2) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 177258 *** |
