I am experiencing a similar problem as the gentleman who posted a
thread on maemo-users in January 2006: http://maemo.org/pipermail/
maemo-users/2006-January/000450.html . The problem is that .profile
doesn't seem to be loaded automatically.
I set up .profile and .ashrc in accordance with the above-referenced
post, and permissions and ownership are as can be seen below (in /
home/user. The files are also duplicated with root ownership in /root).
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user users 556 Sep 4 23:30 .ashrc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user users 28 Sep 4 23:04 .profile
~ $ cat .profile
ENV=$HOME/.ashrc
export ENV
~ $ cat .ashrc
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/lib/install/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/sbin:/var/lib/install/sbin:/var/lib/install/bin:/var/
lib/install/usr/bin:/var/lib/install/usr/sbin:$PATH
[myaliaseshere]
Everything seems to work swimmingly if I source .ashrc directly.
Things that do not work (.ashrc not read) include: simply launching
an xterm; sourcing .profile; rebooting; launching a new shell;
running "sh --login" as user. Things that do work (.ashrc read): "su
-" as root; sshing in as user.
Please inform me of what I am doing wrong here. Thanks. This is on a
fresh 2005 wk 51 reflash with --enable-rd-mode but no other system
modifications to speak of.
