Strange problem with logging in. Until yesterday I was letting the system come up in console mode, logging in as 'andyd' and then running 'startx' to get into X-Windows. Yesterday I chose the option of being logged in automatically as andyd and in KDE. When I do that, it appears that it is not a login session. At least .bash_profile does not get run. If I switch back to doing logging in manually, .bash_profile does get run. Shouldn't autologin run .bash_profile as the login shell script?
The current workaround, of course, is to log in at a console first, then run 'startx'. But does anybody have any idea how I could make autologin do what I think it should? Don't know if it is related, but my PATH environment variable has duplicate paths in it: /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games: /usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games: /usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/home/andyd/bin andy Andy Davidson --- Pheon Research If you know what you're doing, you're not learning anything.
