Public bug reported: Binary package hint: konsole
Python's os.getlogin() function fails when it is runs under KDE terminals (like, konsole, kate, and kdevelop). It does not fail under virtual consoles, xterm, or gnome's terminal. I've reproduced this konsole bug on both Kubuntu Edgy (Python 2.4.4c1) and Kubuntu Fiesty (Python 2.5.1) To reproduce, open konsole, type python , type import os; os.getlogin() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory I guess konsole messes up some environment variables, or something. ** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- os.getlogin fails on konsole https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155508 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
