Public bug reported: [ Impact ]
Reports have come in regarding the Xsetup script in sddm crashing with the following error since the previous patch in LP: #1998254: ./Xsetup.O: 15: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")") This was due to an array being set, which was not supported by sh. However, the script was developed for bash, but the shebang was still for sh. Once changed to #!/bin/bash, it was good to go. [ Test Case ] Run /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup from a terminal Script will fail with ./Xsetup.O: 15: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")") Additionally, bug fixed in LP: #1998254 will not be fixed. [ Where things could go wrong ] Apparently, things that could go wrong in the bug that was supposed to be fixed in #1998254 did go wrong (fix was ineffective), but with the correct script handler (bash), this should be fixed. However, I do concede that even then, after much testing, things could still not work quite right.
