Bug 69933 – KDE doesn't start if bashrc present

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Bienstman (RETIRED) 2004-11-03 04:40:47 UTC]

Starting from KDM, I cannot start a KDE session if I have a .bashrc in my home directory. Moving that file to a .profile allows me to log bakc in again.

Reproducible: Always

which version of kde/kdm? what's inside your .bashrc?

[Comment 2 Peter Bienstman (RETIRED) 2004-11-03 06:16:37 UTC]

KDE/KDM 3.3, nothing spectacular in bashrc:

# .bashrc

source /etc/profile

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
        . /etc/bashrc
fi

# User specific aliases and functions

alias pico='pico -w'

export PS1="\[\e[32;1m\]\u@\h:\w:\[\e[0m\] "

export PATH=.:/home/pbienst/local/bin:$PATH:.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/pbienst/local/lib:/opt/intel/mkl/lib/32:/opt/matlab
/extern/lib/glnx86:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

set bell-style visible

[ -f /etc/profile.d/bash-completion ] && source /etc/profile.d/bash-completion

export GRACE_HOME="/usr/share/grace"

[Comment 3 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) 2004-11-03 07:59:38 UTC]

And with an empty .bashrc?

You could start removing stuff from it to narrow the problem down.

[Comment 4 Peter Bienstman (RETIRED) 2004-11-03 08:13:13 UTC]

This seems to be the culprit: set bell-style visible

I can live without this line ;-)

[Comment 5 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) 2004-11-04 02:32:57 UTC]

I can't understand why, but anyway...

[Comment 6 Peter Bienstman (RETIRED) 2004-11-04 02:39:26 UTC]

I said I can line without this line, not that I can't live without it.

In other words, don't bother ;-)

bugzie

[Comment 8 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) 2009-08-11 17:24:15 UTC]

I tried visible true on bell now with 4.3 and it works. So fixed :]
