RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Adding set -u to a user's .profile does not allow a them to log in on the graphical console.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dbus-1.10.24-3.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add 'set -u' in user's $HOME/.profile
2. Login as same user in runlevel 3
3. Execute startx.

Actual results:
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/10-qt5-check-opengl2.sh: line:41: IMSETTINGS_DISABLE_USER_XINPUTRC: unbound variable

Expected results:
no error

Additional info:

I think the same issue is on lines 87,90 and 94

I beleieve something like

[ -z ${IMSETTINGS_DISABLE_USER_XINPUTRC-} ] ....

could do the trick

Following files are also having the issue Tom has mentioned:
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-xinput.sh: line <number: variable_name>: unbound variable
/usr/libexec/imsettings-functions: line <number: variable_name>: unbound variable
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common: line <number: variable_name>: unbound variable

Once the workaround is applied to all parts in listed files. Graphical session is successfully loaded.

We would need another bz for /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common against xorg-x11-xinit.

Michale would you please do it?
Thanks
-Tom
