  Ubuntu release 14.04 LTS

  I just tried to start gdm with "/etc/init.d/gdm start " and got the
  message:

  /etc/init.d/gdm: 79: /etc/init.d/gdm: Syntax error: "fi" unexpected

  I'm aware of service(8) but cjwatson said I should report this as a

  SRU Information:

  [Impact]

   * Anyone who tries to use the sysv style /etc/init.d/gdm script to control
 gdm may get a syntax error which disallows the script from running,
 bombing out to the command line with an unfriendly error

   * This problem effects vivid, utopic and trusty.  Without this fix
 backported, the functionality of the sysv style script for controlling
 the gdm service is broken under certain circumstances.  The resulting
 unfriendly error is also unprofessional and gives a feeling of
 brokenness to Ubuntu in all three of these releases, including the
 ones to be backported to.

   * This upload is a series of three patches.  The syntax error
 results from a single line in each of the debian/gdm.init files which get
 installed as the /etc/init.d/gdm shell script.  The problem is an extra
 unmatched "fi" that results in a syntax error if the corresponding line
 is interpreted

  [Test Case]

   * To test the fix in vivid, type the following commands before and after
 the updated package is installed:

 cd /etc/init.d
 sudo ./gdm

 If the script exits with a syntax error before the package with
 the fix is installed, you have verified the bug.

 If the script exits with a syntax error after the package is installed,
 the fix did not work.
 If the script does not indicate a syntax error after the package
 is installed, the fix worked

 To test the fix on utopic, do the identical test as in vivid above
 but instead use the following single command to invoke the script:

 sudo /etc/init.d/gdm

 To test the fix on trusty, do the test as in vivid and utopic,
 but use the following commands to change directories and invoke
 the script:

 cd /etc/init.d
 sudo ./gdm
 sudo ./gdm start

 In this case, both times you run the script it should exit with
 the syntax error before installing the package and neither time
 after installing the package.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Any scripts which may call this script which happen to mistakenly
 rely on it to fail could perhaps behave differently, with unknown
 results possible

  [Other Info]
   
   * Using or not using sudo before each command may affect the tests
 with varying output that may be unexpected.  In all cases, however,
 if the script bombs on a syntax error happens mentioning a line number
 and "fi" the test definitely either verified the bug or definitively
 showed the package did not fix the bug (or was not installed correctly).

 A situation which arose during the testing is that depending on the
 whether the patch is on vivid, utopic or trusty, calling the script
 in different ways (fully qualified path vs. changing the current
 directory to /etc/init.d and using ./gdm, for instance, or
 including or not including the 'start' parameter) causes the
 test to behave differently, for instance failing silently or working
 depending on how the script is called even with the syntax error present. 
 This is why there are different command lines for each version of the
 patch for testing.

 I did some tracing on why this happened, and the reasons seem buried deep
 within the trees of scripts called beneath /etc/init.d/gdm and are outside
 the scope of this fix and do not invalidate this fix.  This fix deals
 with a simple top level shell script syntax error that can be successfully
 tested for as indicated above.

  I just tried to start gdm with "/etc/init.d/gdm start " and got the
  message:

  /etc/init.d/gdm: 79: /etc/init.d/gdm: Syntax error: "fi" unexpected
  (expecting "}")

  I'm aware of service(8) but cjwatson said I should report this as a
  bug anyway!

  SRU Information:

  [Impact]

   * Anyone who tries to use the sysv style /etc/init.d/gdm script to control
 gdm may get a syntax error which disallows the script from running,
 bombing out to the command line with an unfriendly error

   * This problem effects vivid, utopic and trusty.  Without this fix
 backported, the functionality of the sysv style script for controlling
 the gdm service is broken under certain circumstances.  The resulting
 unfriendly error is also unprofessional and gives a feeling of
 brokenness to Ubuntu in all three of these releases, including the
 ones to be backported to.

   * This upload is a series of three patches.  The syntax error
 results from a single line in each of the debian/gdm.init files which get
 installed as the /etc/init.d/gdm shell script.  The problem is an extra
 unmatched "fi" that results in a syntax error if the corresponding line
 is interpreted

  [Test Case]

   * To test the fix in vivid, type the following commands before and after
 the updated package is installed:

 cd /etc/init.d
 sudo ./gdm

 If the script exits with a syntax error before the package with
 the fix is installed, you have verified the bug.

 If the script exits with a syntax error after the package is installed,
 the fix did not work.
 If the script does not indicate a syntax error after the package
 is installed, the fix worked

 To test the fix on utopic, do the identical test as in vivid above
 but instead use the following single command to invoke the script:

 sudo /etc/init.d/gdm

 To test the fix on trusty, do the test as in vivid and utopic,
 but use the following commands to change directories and invoke
 the script:

 cd /etc/init.d
 sudo ./gdm
 sudo ./gdm start

 In this case, both times you run the script it should exit with
 the syntax error before installing the package and neither time
 after installing the package.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Any scripts which may call this script which happen to mistakenly
 rely on it to fail could perhaps behave differently, with unknown
 results possible

  [Other Info]
   
   * Using or not using sudo before each command may affect the tests
 with varying output that may be unexpected.  In all cases, however,
 if the script bombs on a syntax error happens mentioning a line number
 and "fi" the test definitely either verified the bug or definitively
 showed the package did not fix the bug (or was not installed correctly).

 A situation which arose during the testing is that depending on the
 whether the patch is on vivid, utopic or trusty, calling the script
 in different ways (fully qualified path vs. changing the current
 directory to /etc/init.d and using ./gdm, for instance, or
 including or not including the 'start' parameter) causes the
 test to behave differently, for instance failing silently or working
 depending on how the script is called even with the syntax error present. 
 This is why there are different command lines for each version of the
 patch for testing.

 I did some tracing on why this happened, and the reasons seem buried deep
 within the trees of scripts called beneath /etc/init.d/gdm and are outside
 the scope of this fix and do not invalidate this fix.  This fix deals
 with a simple top level shell script syntax error that can be successfully
 tested for as indicated above.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1315442] Re: Extra fi in /etc/init.d/gdm

[Scott Sanbar]

I have made a fix (patch) for this bug for trusty, tested on Ubuntu-
Gnome trusty and attached it as trusty-gdm_3.10.0.1-0ubuntu3.2.debdiff
to this comment:

This is a very simple change to the code in debian/gdm.init - I removed
line 78 which has an extra unmatched fi

Tested as follows:
Built binaries using sbuild in latest trusty environment on a trusty machine. 
Fired up an Ubuntu-Gnome trusty 14.04.2 release build LiveCD in a virtual 
machine. Verified the bug failure on the plain vanilla vivid LiveCD as follows:

cd /etc/init.d
./gdm
(gave syntax error)
./gdm start
(gave syntax error)

Copied all the .deb files from the trusty sbuild on the trusty build
machine onto the Ubuntu-Gnome trusty livecd vm. Installed the four .deb
files using dpkg -i ... Install succeeded, and visually inspecting
/etc/init.d/gdm showed original line 78 was indeed removed. Typed:

cd /etc/init.d
./gdm
(worked as expected - no syntax error)
./gdm start
(worked as expected - no syntax error)

This confirms that the bug fix works for the 14.04.2 release version of
Ubuntu-Gnome.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1315442] Re: Extra fi in /etc/init.d/gdm

[Scott Sanbar]

I have made a fix (patch) for this bug for utopic, tested on Ubuntu-
Gnome utopic and attached it as gdm_3.10.0.1-0ubuntu7.2.debdiff to this
comment:

This is a very simple change to the code in debian/gdm.init - I removed
line 78 which has an extra unmatched fi

Tested as follows:
Built binaries using sbuild in latest utopic environment on a trusty machine. 
Fired up an Ubuntu-Gnome utopic 14.10 release build LiveCD in a virtual 
machine. Verified the bug failure on the plain vanilla utopic LiveCD as follows:

/etc/init.d/gdm
(gave syntax error)

If I changed directories to /etc/init.d and did ./gdm the script did
not do anything - just returned.  Also, /etc/init.d/gdm start worked
fine.  Still, the error did occur as indicated above.

Copied all the .deb files from the utopic sbuild on the trusty build
machine onto the Ubuntu-Gnome utopic livecd vm. Installed the four .deb
files using dpkg -i ... Install succeeded, and visually inspecting
/etc/init.d/gdm showed original line 78 was indeed removed. Typed:

/etc/init.d/gdm
(worked as expected - no syntax error)
/etc/init.d/gdm start
(worked as expected - no syntax error)

This confirms that the bug fix works for the 14.10 utopic release
version of Ubuntu-Gnome.

+ 
+ SRU Information:
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * Anyone who tries to use the sysv style /etc/init.d/gdm script to control
+gdm may get a syntax error which disallows the script from running,
+bombing out to the command line with an unfriendly error
+ 
+  * This problem effects vivid, utopic and trusty.  Without this fix
+backported, the functionality of the sysv style script for controlling
+the gdm service is broken under certain circumstances.  The resulting
+unfriendly error is also unprofessional and gives a feeling of
+brokenness to Ubuntu in all three of these releases, including the
+ones to be backported to.
+ 
+  * This upload is a series of three patches.  The syntax error
+results from a single line in each of the debian/gdm.init files which get
+installed as the /etc/init.d/gdm shell script.  The problem is an extra
+unmatched fi that results in a syntax error if the corresponding line
+is interpreted
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * To test the fix in vivid, type the following commands before and after
+the updated package is installed:
+ 
+cd /etc/init.d
+sudo ./gdm
+ 
+If the script exits with a syntax error before the package with
+the fix is installed, you have verified the bug.
+ 
+If the script exits with a syntax error after the package is installed,
+the fix did not work.
+If the script does not indicate a syntax error after the package
+is installed, the fix worked
+ 
+To test the fix on utopic, do the identical test as in vivid above
+but instead use the following single command to invoke the script:
+ 
+sudo /etc/init.d/gdm
+ 
+To test the fix on trusty, do the test as in vivid and utopic,
+but use the following commands to change directories and invoke
+the script:
+ 
+cd /etc/init.d
+sudo ./gdm
+sudo ./gdm start
+ 
+In this case, both times you run the script it should exit with
+the syntax error before installing the package and neither time
+after installing the package.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * Any scripts which may call this script which happen to mistakenly
+rely on it to fail could perhaps behave differently, with unknown
+results possible
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * Using or not using sudo before each command may affect the tests
+with varying output that may be unexpected.  In all cases, however,
+if the script bombs on a syntax error happens mentioning a line number
+and fi the test definitely either verified the bug or definitively
+showed the package did not fix the bug (or was not installed correctly).
+ 
+A situation which arose during the testing is that depending on the
+whether the patch is on vivid, utopic or trusty, calling the script
+in different ways (fully qualified path vs. changing the current
+directory to /etc/init.d and using ./gdm, for instance, or
+including or not including the 'start' parameter) causes the
+test to behave differently, for instance failing silently or working
+depending on how the script is called even with the syntax error present. 
+This is why there are different command lines for each version of the
+patch for testing.
+ 
+I did some tracing on why this happened, and the reasons seem buried deep
+within the trees of scripts called beneath /etc/init.d/gdm and are outside
+the scope of this fix and do not invalidate this fix.  This fix deals
+with a simple top level shell script syntax error that can be successfully
+tested for as indicated above.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1315442] Re: Extra fi in /etc/init.d/gdm

[Scott Sanbar]

I have made a fix for this bug and attached it as a debdiff to this
comment:

This is a very simple change to the code in debian/gdm.init - I remove
line 73 which has an extra unmatched fi

Tested as follows:
Built binaries using sbuild in latest vivid environment on a trusty machine.  
Fired up an Ubuntu-Gnome vivid daily build (current for 4/2/2015) LiveCD in a 
virtual machine.  Verified the bug failure on the plain vanilla vivid LiveCD as 
follows:

cd /etc/init.d
./gdm

Could not get the failure with ./gdm start like mentioned in the bug
report - had to leave out start

Copied all the .deb files from the vivid sbuild on the trusty machine
onto the Ubuntu-Gnome vivid vm.  Installed the four .deb files using
dpkg -i ...  Install succeeded, and visually inspecting
/etc/init.d/gdm showed line 73 was indeed removed.  Typed:

cd /etc/init.d
./gdm

At the command prompt and got no error about fi - just showed the
informational message about usage (because I left out start).  This
confirms that the bug is fixed for the current version of vivid.

** Patch added: Fix for LP: #1315442 - removed line 73 (extra fi) - tested 
on Ubuntu-Gnome vivid

Do sudo gedit /etc/init.d/gdm then look at the bottom of the gedit
window where you see sh, Tab Width, Ln. That's what you're looking for
Ln which means line number.

Title:
  Extra fi in /etc/init.d/gdm

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu release 14.04 LTS
  gdm 3.10.0.1-0ubuntu3

  I just tried to start gdm with /etc/init.d/gdm start  and got the
  message:

  /etc/init.d/gdm: 79: /etc/init.d/gdm: Syntax error: fi unexpected
  (expecting })

  I'm aware of service(8) but cjwatson said I should report this as a
  bug anyway!
