Public bug reported: The immediate issue I have is: I have my login shell set to tcsh. However .cshrc is not getting executed on login via gdm.
However on investigating I could not find the expected system-wide cshrc and login files. dpkg claims they are there but I can't see them (I did a remove (no --purge) & install cycle). I can't see anything in the package pre/post scripts that would remove these files. # dpkg -L tcsh |grep etc /etc /etc/csh /etc/csh/login.d /etc/csh.cshrc /etc/csh.login /etc/csh.logout /etc/complete.tcsh % ls -al /etc/csh drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2011-08-10 17:20 . drwxr-xr-x 133 root root 12288 2011-08-10 17:20 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-03-22 17:07 login.d # lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Release: 10.04 # apt-cache policy tcsh tcsh: Installed: 6.17.00-3 Candidate: 6.17.00-3 Version table: *** 6.17.00-3 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: tcsh (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/824245 Title: tcsh: missing /etc/csh files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tcsh/+bug/824245/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
