 |
|
Hi,
I just installed Gentoo Linux 1.2 and KDE 3.0.2.
I have a problem, KDE is not reading /etc/profile. I've tried adding --login to /usr/kde/3/bin/startkde but it only helps when starting KDE from the console. What about kdm (I get sh-2.05a$ in my prompt)??
TIA,
Norberto |

what do you mean by not reading /etc/profile? do you mean that konsole is not giving you the expected promt?
I do this in $HOME/.bashrc:
| Code: | source /etc/profile
export PATH=$PATH:~/bin
# using ssh agent and keychain
keychain ~/.ssh/id_dsa
source ~/.ssh-agent-$HOSTNAME > /dev/null
# bash programmable completion
source /etc/bash_completion
#give me some nice colors while were at it
eval `dircolors`
|
and while we are on it, I changed /etc/profile so that you get the path and inlog in the titlebar of konsole (actually xterm, but konsole supports it to) And did it so that a virtual terminal (ctl+alt+1) doesn't beep because it does not understand this xterm code.

then
source /etc/profile.env
fi
#077 would be more secure, but 022 is generally quite realistic
umask 022
if [ `/usr/bin/whoami` = 'root' ]
then
if [ "$SHELL" = '/bin/bash' ] || [ "$SHELL" = '/bin/sh' ]
then
if [ "$TERM" = 'linux' ]
then
export PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]'
else
export PS1='\[\033]0;\u@\h:\w\007\]\[\033[01;31m\]\u@\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]'

fi
export PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:${ROOTPATH}"
else
if [ "$SHELL" = '/bin/bash' ] || [ "$SHELL" = '/bin/sh' ]
then
if [ "$TERM" = 'linux' ]
then

export EDITOR="/usr/bin/vi"

this version is based on the latest gentoo profile.
I use bash programmable completion, I beleve nowadays there is an ebuild for it, I installed it by hand, and I use keychain for ssh key management, just comment these things out if you don't have it.
Allso make sure bash is your shell, change it in /etc/passwd. Though sh is the same as bash, (sh is a symlink to bash), if you start bash using the sh simlink, it doesn't read .bashrc (probably .shrc, but don't know about that)

Well, I solved the /etc/profile issue but I still have another one.
If I do 'uptime' (top, w, users, etc.) in konsole it shows '0 users.' I've read that I need to put --login in some script, but I don't know which one.
Also, and very extrange (at least for me.) If in the same KDE session, I open xterm, then the above commands show 1 user.
TIA,
Norberto |
