That would be a change of the environment-modules code which ought to be doable. I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The environment variables and shell functions that the initialization defines are exported with the intent of making them available to the environment. Dash when later called upon accepts the exported variables but washes the exported shell functions out as I understand it at this point. Ok, if the program relies on exported functions, I understand better. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29239806/how-to-export-a-function-in-bourne-shell -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Apparently dash comes in at a later stage. So it seems. There are probably a couple of pitfalls built-in in that program. Thanks for bringing the issue to the upstream maintainer! It would be great if you could get back here and let us know the outcome of the discussion/tests. -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

I know this because the initialization works as expected if I change /bin/sh to point to /bin/bash. Right. But it could be useful to know what happens if you 1. Change the /bin/sh symlink back to point to dash, and 2. (assuming that MINT uses LightDM) edit /usr/sbin/lightdm-session and change the line BASH_VERSION= . "$CONFIG_FILE" 2>"$ERR" to .
