You saying that you had no issues until you upgraded that package? I cannot address that package specifically, but I can share tears and whine with you over the lack of cluefulness about how profiling is handled. It not just Linux, but it's worse in Linux than other Unix/POSIX. When Project Athena gave us X Windows, there was some provision to get it right, but that was lost on the distributors (and evidently on both the GNome developers and the KDE developers), so the problem is even worse in a GUI environment than pure shell.
I guess the summary report would be: I have had so many problems with the distributed profiling that I always discard the .bashrc and .bash_profile mandated from /etc/skel and install my own .profile (usually withOUT shell rc). If they follow the rules, every Bourne compatible shell will source that when you "log in". (Definition of "log in" may still vary, and sadly DOES NOT include logging in to most graphical desktops.) With care (and I don't mean much) you can have C-Shell variants also source $HOME/.profile and safely return to their expected behavior. I usually set my default shell to /bin/sh in case the environment goes multi-platform, but that still does not fix the profiling problems. -- R; <>< On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 10:40, Leland Lucius <[email protected]> wrote: > Specifically, has your default PS1 prompt behavior changed?
