Hi,

Before upgrading to the current konsole I used to be able to get a login  
session with the -ls option.


But that option is gone.

What do you have to do to get a login session with konsole?


It was probably deemed an unwanted feature like the system bell and
dropped.



But with the -ls option /etc/profile got executed at the beginning. Now 
how do I get that done?

Found the answer to that one too:

edit the profile in 'General' to execute '/bin/bash -l' instead of just 
'/bin/bash'.

Kind of like the system bell which has been removed from Konsole.  The
current work-around is to install the 'beep' package which is not
optimal as that command must be called for each shell completion. 
After installing Kubuntu Karmic on the other partition, even beep was
mute.  Turns out the Ubuntu people have now helpfully blacklisted the
'pcspkr' module.  G.  I've been around these infernal IBM clones
for 20 years now and that beep is burned into my psyche and when the PC
doesn't beep I assume something is wrong.
