Description Horst H. von Brand 2005-11-22 20:01:05 UTC

Description of problem:
bash doesn't honor ~/.bash_profile. I start a gnome-terminal, and the variables
and so set there aren't available.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bash-3.0-36

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a gnome-terminal in gnome
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Contents of .bash_profile aren't considered.

Expected results:
Read in .bash_profile

Additional info:
/var/log/secure shows the following after a failed login attepmt:
Nov 22 16:54:29 quelen sshd[27274]: PAM unable to
dlopen(/lib/security/$ISA/pam_ldap.so)

Comment 1 Horst H. von Brand 2005-11-23 20:21:43 UTC

Sorry, the additional info is for another bug (with LDAP).

Comment 2 Willem Riede 2005-12-28 22:14:42 UTC

I observed the same - you can detect it by looking at $PATH - ~/bin is not added.

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2006-01-03 13:54:09 UTC

The .bash_profile file is sourced only for a login shell (see 'man bash').  One
way to invoke bash as a login shell is to use the '-l' option, so if you want
.bash_profile sourced from gnome-terminal you need to enable the 'Run command as
a login shell' check-button in the gnome-terminal "Edit profile" dialog box.

Comment 4 Willem Riede 2006-01-03 23:05:30 UTC

Given that this was not needed in FC4, can this be flagged in the release notes,
or perhaps better, can that check-button be set by default?

Comment 5 Ray Strode [halfline] 2006-01-10 16:03:42 UTC

Hi guys,

This is fixed in rawhide now.  It was a bug in GDM (the component that provides
the login screen).

When someone logs in, a login shell should be executed.  That wasn't happening.
