That was absolute bull. Ubuntu obviously ships with /etc/profile, which is a "version" of bash_profile, so #8 was a specious argument. And placing "profiley" stuff into bashrc slows down the shell (as if it's not slow enough already!)
Some .xsessionrc file (or whatever is read by the *dm's) must make sure to read /etc/profile. If that is not done at the system level it must be recommended to users as the preferred workaround for this utter nonsense. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/17962 Title: newly opened gnome-terminal windows don't have .bash_profile sourced To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/17962/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
