Gunnar, Running it through "sh -n" is definitively a good way how to test a shell script. It of course will miss a lot of errors (variable typos, failing programs in a set -e script, etc.), but it at least will catch obvious syntax errors. So ignoring faulty scripts and showing some error message (in ~/.xsession-errors or even a dialog) seems appropriate to me.
Thanks for working on this! I'll review the MP now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/678421 Title: Error message for a faulty ~/.profile script To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/678421/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
