Description Ilpo Kantonen 2005-04-02 19:50:36 UTC
Description of problem:   
   
In script /usr/bin/starkde I found lines    
   
    space_tmp=`df /tmp | xargs | cut -d" " -f11`    
    homedir_mount=`df "$HOME" | xargs | cut -d" " -f8`    
   
 and then they are called in same script:    
    
 if [ $space_tmp -lt 50 ]; then     <- line 24    
 ...    
 if [ $space_home -lt 25 ]; then   <- line 29    
    
 and that causes error lines in .xession-errors file in home directory:    
    
 /usr/bin/startkde: line 24: [: 6%: integer expression expected    
 /usr/bin/startkde: line 29: [: 40%: integer expression expected    
    
 I tried to execute space_tmp manually and that returned just 6%. Not an integer!    
 That occurred in Fedora Core 2 system and Ubuntu. Slackware linux works ok.    
   
   
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):   
Fedora Core 2, kernel 2.6.10-1.771_FC2  
   
How reproducible:   
I tried manually  df /tmp | xargs | cut -d" " -f11 and it occurred every time.  
   
Steps to Reproduce:   
1.  df /tmp | xargs | cut -d" " -f11  
2.   
3.   
     
Actual results:   
 6% on my system just now.  
   
Expected results:   
integer value   
   
Additional info:  
Seems to be that startkde script matches wrong field with -f11 or -f8 with finnish 
language fedora and some other languages too.  Coud be better if there is not such 
assumptions of field places and orders.

Comment 1 Matthew Miller 2005-04-26 15:03:57 UTC
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for
security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please
reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a
security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or
in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.

Comment 2 Than Ngo 2006-05-13 22:40:25 UTC
it's now fixed in our CVS. I will build new kdebase including this fix in
FC5 update and rawhide soon. Thanks for your report.
