bash-me-up (Bash Startup Files Setup Made Easy)

[PackRat]

Didn't catch this when proffing the script -

Code Select Expand

ln -sf /home/"$local_user"/.profile /root/.profile
ln -sf /home/"$local_user"/.bash_profile /root/.bash_profile
ln -sf /home/"$local_user"/.bashrc /root/.bashrc
ln -sf /home/"$local_user"/.bash_logout /root/.bash_logout
if [ -f /home/"$local_user"/.bash_aliases ] ; then
ln -sf /home/"$local_user"/.bash_aliases /root/.bash_aliases

Not too big an issue on this particular laptop where I'm the only user. On a multi-user machine those files would be linked to the last user setup.

Appears to me to be an inherent security flaw going on with this part. Does Debian even create those files for root? The default would be to just use the /etc/bashrc and /etc/profile, correct? Maybe just go that route.

$local_user is the user who ran this install script as sudo. On a multiuser machine this will be a bad thing. In the V2 of bash-me-up I'll make the soft-linking an optional feature. Thanks for pointing this out PackRat. As usual your observation is spot-on and valid.

Cheers!!!

Your fearless (dumbass?) leader went ahead and installed it.. I am now on another partition to restore the bup files but wanted to post what is going on

I installed with no issues.. I logged out and tried to log back in but got an endless loop back to the lightdm login. I also rebooted and same results

I use a separate /home partition that is also used on this partition I am on now.. just stating that whatever broke on the install partition is not affecting this login even though the files are the same

I can hold off for a while if you want to test anything.. Just let me know

[PackRat]

^ Is your lightdm login screen set to the "Default"

@hackerdefo - I stand corrected, for lxdm the default WM/DE is pulled from the /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf file so I can use your .xsession file as is.

I will stand by statement that LightDM reads the .xsession file as evidenced by vastone being caught in a loop.

I think startx still defaults to .xinitrc, so that should work unless it is a symlink to .xsessionrc.

@vastone - add a window manager to your new .xsessionrc and see if you log in.

[VastOne]

Adding that did not change the issue.. Need to log out and back in to see if FluxBox is selected by LightDM

I still am verklemped by the fact that I can login on this partition using the same login and exact same files.. but will trace it down

[VastOne]

Was set to FluxBox and changing it to Default made no difference

If I change this login (working one) from FluxBox to Default it replicates the issue

I am going to go through each file now and look at what could be the issue and start a step by step restore and reboot to isolate

[hakerdefo]

Can you post the ~/.xsession-errors file here?

Cheers!!!

[hakerdefo]

Also can you start the Fluxbox manually from a different tty, let's say tty2 by running this command,

startx /usr/bin/startfluxbox

Nope... same issue ... I cannot login on tty7 lightdm but I can login tty2 startx /usr/bin/startfluxbox

I also rebooted to be completely sure

[hakerdefo]

Can you post the latest xsessions-errors file?

Cheers!!!

[VastOne]

Here they are but I am not sure errors are being captured on a failed login because the latest and the old one are identical

This is behaving more like a permissions issue than anything.. But that makes no sense because I can login to another partition with the same login using the same /home files
