[Bug 48876] Re: gnome-session fails when alias ls='ls --color' in .profile
Confirmed on Hardy. bug present in /etc/gdm/Xsession, installed from package gdm-2.20.7. Reason: $(ls $1) is used, which adds ansi color escape sequences Fix1: change ls to /bin/ls to ignore the bash/sh alias (in /etc/gdm/Xsession) Fix2: use run-parts with --list instead of defining a run_patch function (/etc/gdm/Xsession) Fix3: this a problem in gdm packages, maintained at gnome.org. The bug is probably gone since debian specific folder in gdm has been removed (gdm-2.22). So we will have to wait until gdm-2.22 or higher becomes available in Ubuntu, or ... until someone backports its to gdm-2.20 (which is IMHO unlikely). Patch attached anyway for anyone interested in a quick fix. ** Attachment added: quick workaround for ls alias problem in gdm/Xsession http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18123035/Xsession.patch_ls_alias_runparts -- gnome-session fails when alias ls='ls --color' in .profile https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48876 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thanks for your work on that. Do you pick a particular session to get the issue? Does ls --color /etc/X11/Xsession.d uses some color on your installation?

Sebastien, My system is built up by the ubuntu 6.06 Live CD (double click install icon on the desktop), I added the alias to /etc/profile just after first boot. And I reproduced it easily in another fresh system also. So I think I was not picking particular session. ls --color /etc/X11/Xsession.d only shows texts with normal color, but the output is filled with some ansi control chars (use cat -v to prove): igo: ~ $ /bin/ls --color /etc/X11/Xsession.d | cat -v ^[[0m^[[0m20xorg-common_process-args^[[0m ^[[0m30xorg-common_xresources^[[0m ^[[0m50xorg-common_determine-startup^[[0m ^[[0m55gnome-session_gnomerc^[[0m ^[[0m75dbus_dbus-launch^[[0m ^[[0m90xorg-common_ssh-agent^[[0m ^[[0m99xorg-common_start^[[0m ^[[m igo: ~ $ md5sum /bin/ls cf3669f0230ba30c2ddede093bdaa031 /bin/ls On 8/10/06, Sebastien Bacher [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for your work on that.

Can everybody check that this resolves the issue?

[Bug 48876] Re: gnome-session fails when alias ls='ls --color' in .profile
I encountered this problem in 6.06 today. If you have set 'ls' as an alias with argument '--color' in /etc/profile or $HOME/profile, it will be triggered. The root cause is that, the script /etc/gdm/Xsession will source /etc/profile and $HOME/.profile, then it use ls $1 to read /etc/X11/Xsession.d, the ANSI color control characters in its output will cause the problem. Here's the fix: modify /etc/gdm/Xsession, change line 82 for F in $(ls $1); do to for F in $(/bin/ls $1); do -- gnome-session fails when alias ls='ls --color' in .profile https://launchpad.net/bugs/48876 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

uncommenting the ls alias causes the errant behavior for me, and was the only line in my profile when I encountered this. commenting it out also fixes the symptoms. -- gnome-session fails when alias ls='ls --color' in .profile https://launchpad.net/bugs/48876 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
