I came across this problem when doing a clean install of Lucid. I had an existing /home partition which was not formatted. I'm not sure if the installer overwrote my .bashrc, but I couldn't login to GDM after the install was finished. I overwrote my .bashrc with the default Lucid skeleton version of .bashrc to confirm this would happen with a stock file.
GDM would not let me log in to Gnome, KDE, or XFCE, because of this error. I wasted a good bit of time thinking that I had screwed something up, or was missing something critical from the ubuntu-desktop task. Bug, or not, the problem should be addressed in the default install. A co-worker did an in-place upgrade and was not affected by this bug, however, he still has a previous version of .bashrc in place after his upgrade. -- "shopt" xsession error upon login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/60079 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
