No, my file of bash specific start up commands is in /etc/bash.bashrc which is sourced from /etc/profile
You cannot put the hash bang at the top of a sourced file. I do not think I am alone in having bash specific stuff in these files which is why there are a few other cases of people complaining that stuff is breaking here. As it happens, I have now removed the line that sources /etc/bash.bashrc from /etc/profile and put it in my ~/.bash_profile - but this is more of a helpful tip for anyone who lands this way. -- "shopt" xsession error upon login https://launchpad.net/bugs/60079 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
