Don't know exactly when this started occuring but when I'm in kde (sorry, no other window manager on the system - it may not be a kde issue) and open a terminal (normally konsole but xterm has same issue) /etc/profile is no longer sourced. Logging into a new tty (ctl-alt-F2) works fine as well as "su - username" to the same user from within the non-sourced terminal - the "su -" seems to cause it to become sourced but of course it doesn't stay that way once the su'ed shell is exited. kde-base/konsole-3.5.5 app-shells/bash-3.2_p5 sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.6 ~ $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.2_rc2-r5 (default-linux/amd64/2006.1, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.5-r0, 2.6.18-ck1-r2 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-ck1-r2 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.6 Last Sync: Wed, 06 Dec 2006 01:30:01 +0000 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4, 2.5-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.14 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://gentoo.cites.uiuc.edu/pub/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://prometheus.cs.wmich.edu/gentoo http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" LINGUAS="en" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X a52 aac aalib acl acpi alsa apache2 arts audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo cdparanoia cdr cli cracklib crypt cups curl dbus dlloader dri dts dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread elibc_glibc encode exif fam ffmpeg flac fortran gdbm gif gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk2 hal iconv imagemagick imap input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse ipv6 isdnlog jack java jpeg jpeg2k kde kdeenablefinal kernel_linux lame lcd lcms ldap libg++ linguas_en lm_sensors mad mmap mozcalendar mozilla mp3 musicbrainz ncurses nls nodrm nptl nptlonly nvidia ofx ogg oggvorbis openexr opengl pam pcre pda pdf perl png ppds pppd python qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba sasl scanner sdl session slp sndfile spell spl ssl subversion svg tcltk tcpd theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userland_GNU utf8 v4l v4l2 vcd video_cards_fbdev video_cards_nv video_cards_nvidia video_cards_v4l video_cards_vesa video_cards_vmware vorbis wmf xcomposite xine xml xorg xscreensaver xv xvid xvmc zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
I think this is a change in bash. I moved the "code" (a couple of aliases and some bash history control) that I added to /etc/profile to /etc/bash/bashrc and it seems to work fine.
Looks like: 1) your pb is solved, and it was related to some of your bash settings 2) since it also affected your xterm session it was not really konsole related 3) nobody had the same issue meanwhile This bug should be closed. Can the reporter please close this bug? regards, po
