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

[VastOne]

Which means that the difference could be in any file that was placed on the /root partition and not /home

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

I just confirmed this.. the errors file is not updated on a failed login from the LightDM tty7 session

I am seeing this error in the syslog that started at about the time all of this began

Code: [Select]

Jan 11 12:18:12 localhost lightdm[706]: Error getting user list from org.freedesktop.Accounts: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Accounts was not provided by any .service files
I am going to log into a different partition to see if that same error is in the syslog

EDIT - Same error on other partitions so it is not relevant

[hakerdefo]

Okay! Vasty can you try another try?
Edit the .xsessionrc file to look like this,

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
test -f /etc/profile && . /etc/profile

test -f $HOME/.profile && . $HOME/.profile
Save it and do the LightDM logout-login and see how it goes.

Cheers!!!

[VastOne]

It did not work.. being that it is bash now would it need to be made 755 executable?

[hakerdefo]

This is happening because in Debian /bin/sh is symlinked to dash not bash. And in /etc/profile provided by bash-me-up the line 28 is,

Code: [Select]

export -f pathremove pathprepend pathappend

In dash, which is a posix shell, there is no way to export a function. So the above line is like an alien to dash so it throws an error. And in /etc/X11/Xsession there is the line,

Code: [Select]

set -eThat ensures that the execution of the scripts halts on any error.
So the simplest of the solution to do would be to comment out the line,

Code: [Select]

# export -f pathremove pathprepend pathappend

In /etc/profile file.
Can you test this?

Cheers!!!

[VastOne]

I commented that out and rebooted and still cannot log in to tty7

I must reiterate this... I can log into a different partition with this same setting and same files and same user. This to me is interesting to say the least

[hakerdefo]

Try removing these symlinks,

Code: [Select]

sudo rm /root/.profile
sudo rm /root/.bash_profile
sudo rm /root/.bash_logout
sudo rm /root/.bashrc
sudo rm /root/.bash_aliases

And see if it makes any difference.

Cheers!!!

[VastOne]

Try removing these symlinks,

Code: [Select]

sudo rm /root/.profile
sudo rm /root/.bash_profile
sudo rm /root/.bash_logout
sudo rm /root/.bashrc
sudo rm /root/.bash_aliases

And see if it makes any difference.

Cheers!!!

No difference still no login to tty7/lightdm

[hakerdefo]

Remove the following on both /home and this partition and reboot please,

Code: [Select]

sudo rm ~/.Xauthority

Remove the following on both /home and this partition and reboot please,

Did not work. I still cannot log into tty7 lightdm

@vastone -

... I am now on another partition to restore the bup files but wanted to post what is going on

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

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

I'm having a hard time visualizing this setup. Do you have multiple installs of VSIDO and a shared /home partition? And you log into each install as "vastone"?

[hakerdefo]

Code: [Select]

gksudo medit /etc/X11/XsessionChange the first line from,

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/shto

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bashand try logout-login via LightDM.
Confused Cheers!!!

[VastOne]

@vastone -

I'm having a hard time visualizing this setup. Do you have multiple installs of VSIDO and a shared /home partition? And you log into each install as "vastone"?

Yes... And even further they are the EXACT same partitions at one time.. I use fsarchiver and backup and restore to several partitions for redundancy and for testing cases just as this one

The only thing I regret is this is my A partition, where grub is held.. I should have dropped to either B, C or D partition to test..

I can simply fsarchive anyone of those and bring it back if this is not resolved to my liking

[PackRat]

So then you also have 4 (?) / partitions?

So when you successfully log in via lightdm, you are reading the original Debian /etc/bashrc and /etc/profile files?
