Isn't that terminal just changing your working directory to ~/Documents? Or isn't there something in any of bashrc files? Please, provide me an output of: echo $HOME (In reply to comment #1) > Isn't that terminal just changing your working directory to ~/Documents? Or > isn't there something in any of bashrc files? > Please, provide me an output of: > echo $HOME @Roman Rakus No idea, if is a bug of bash or xterm, konsole, etc. I just report the error that i can see. On a fresh install (now) using LiveCD KDE F18 Alpha, the same error again. 1.- alt+f2, xterm, intro = /home/user/Documents prompt 2.- echo $HOME = /home/nix 3.- pwd = /home/nix/Documents Attach screenshot with identical steps Created attachment 614306 [details]
path error
Modifing the "initial directory" on konsole, is solved, but, only on konsole, xterm no, so, is a system-wide variable that affect to all terminal emulators Reassigning to Konsole This is not a bug, it's expected behavior. You can change default directory for konsole, xterm and others by setting "Document Path" in System Settings -> Account Details -> Paths. @Radek Novacek Aha, changing the path of Documents, xterm and others are like the clasic terminal. But, the KDE settings are not relationed with this, of yes?. I have a box with F17 and the paths are configured by default, /home/user/documents, but when i open a terminal, the default directory is /home/user, no /home/user/documents Sorry, I misunderstand the bug report, the problem is that working directory is set to ~/Documents instead of ~ when running program (konsole, xterm, ...) from krunner, right? correct So, as I said on IRC: * The fact that the default working directory on application startup is ~/Documents is a feature, not a bug, see (non-)bug #571837. * You also cannot expect the KDE Plasma Workspaces to automatically figure out that xterm is a terminal emulator. We are not going to hardcode a list of terminal emulators. * What should, however be done, is for Konsole and xterm to specify ~ as the startup working directory, either in their .desktop file or elsewhere. For some reason, Konsole appears to start up in ~ on F16 and F17, but I cannot find where this is set, so I don't know what changed in F18 Alpha. There's already a bug filed for the Konsole behavior change, I reopened it. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 841471 *** |
