Bug 240157 – kde-base/kdebase-startkde-4.1.2 skips startup/shutdown scripts

• Status: VERIFIED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Matt Whitlock 2008-10-05 21:38:08 UTC]

The startkde script only sources the scripts in /etc/kde/{startup,shutdown} if "${KDEDIR}" == "/usr", but KDEDIR is set empty, so the scripts are never sourced.

Relevant lines:

 10  export KDEDIR=

239  # Gentoo part for FHS installs
240  if [ "${KDEDIR}" == "/usr" ]; then
241    for file in "/etc/kde/startup/"*.sh; do
242      test -r "${file}" && . "${file}"
243    done
244  fi

457  # Gentoo part for FHS installs
458  if [ "${KDEDIR}" == "/usr" ]; then
459    for file in "/etc/kde/shutdown/"*.sh; do
460      test -r "${file}" && . "${file}"
461    done
462  fi

I will take a look at this and fix it later. The startkde scripts have been changing quite a bit recently. It is just a small change but I can't get to it right now. Thanks for pointing this out.

I think I read this wrong. What kdebase-startkde version do you have installed. I already fixed this in kdebase-startkde-4.1.2-r1. Please emerge --sync and update. If this persists then please reopen this bug report.

It does indeed appear fixed in 4.1.2-r1.  Sorry to bother you, and thanks!

It is totally OK. Glad the bumped version works well for you. It is always good to get feedback on problems in new ebuilds before we unmask them for the masses ;-)
