I can confirm that this a bug for me too. My global /etc/bash.bashrc file is sourcing /etc/bash_completion which in turn exits with a error status of "2" with the following message:
/etc/bash_completion: 44: Syntax error: Bad substitution You can reproduce by sourcing /etc/bash_completion your self in a test script such as this: -------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh . /etc/bash_completion -------------------------------------- Because this exits with an error status 2 it causes any session, be it GNOME or Ion3 (in my case), to crash. -- "shopt" xsession error upon login https://launchpad.net/bugs/60079 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
