Xsessions has_option code error with fix
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Jammy Jellyfish 22.04.1 LTS and others. There have been numerous bug
reports and failed fixes for this over several years and releases.
There are a couple of problems in /etc/X11/Xsessions where it fails to
handle options, causing bogus error messages and, doubtless, many
errors.
The first bug is that the entire options file, including comments, is
read into a variable.
Where the variable "OPTIONS" is assigned;
Replacing "cat" with "grep" strips out comments and blank lines;
$ diff Xsession Xsession.orig
65c65
< grep -v "^\s*\#\|^\s*$" "$OPTIONFILE"
---
> cat "$OPTIONFILE"
The second problem is that checking for a non-existent directory
inside a command substitution does not work. It just appends garbage
onto the output string.
That is probably a bug in BASH, but I defer to your opinion there.
The immediate work around is to create an empty directory so that the
test does not fail. Better still, force the creation of the directory
and remove the test.
eg. change this;
OPTIONS="$(
if [ -r "$OPTIONFILE" ]; then
cat "$OPTIONFILE"
fi
if [ -d /etc/X11/Xsession.options.d ]; then
run-parts --list --regex '\.conf$' /etc/X11/Xsession.options.d | xargs -d
'\n' cat
fi
)"
to this;
OPTIONSDIR=/etc/X11/Xsession.options.d
mkdir --parents ${OPTIONSDIR}
OPTIONS="$(
if [ -r "$OPTIONFILE" ]; then
grep -v "^\s*\#\|^\s*$" "$OPTIONFILE"
fi
run-parts --list --regex '\.conf$' /etc/X11/Xsession.options.d | xargs -d

And now OPTIONS has to be exported,
and probably should be protected against being empty in the new file. So it
becomes ${OPTIONS:-} and ${1:-}
What else have I missed?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1995236] Re: Xsessions has_option code error with fix
Bother. There is a third problem, a scope issue of some sort.
The errors in ~/.xsession.error go away if "has_options" is moved from Xsession
to its own file in Xsession.d
I don't see why sourceing it should make any difference, but it does.
$ cat /etc/X11/Xsession.d/00
has_option () {
# Ensure that a later no-foo overrides an earlier foo
if [ "$(echo "$OPTIONS" | grep -Eo "^(no-)?$1\>" | tail -n 1)" == "$1" ]; then
return 0
else
return 1
fi
}
Also I changed a "=" to "==", but that should be cosmetic.

Bug description:
Jammy Jellyfish 22.04.1 LTS and others. There have been numerous bug
reports and failed fixes for this over several years and releases.
There are a couple of problems in /etc/X11/Xsessions where it fails to
handle options, causing bogus error messages and, doubtless, many
errors.
The first bug is that the entire options file, including comments, is
read into a variable.
Where the variable "OPTIONS" is assigned;
Replacing "cat" with "grep" strips out comments and blank lines;
$ diff Xsession Xsession.orig
65c65
< grep -v "^\s*\#\|^\s*$" "$OPTIONFILE"
---
> cat "$OPTIONFILE"
The second problem is that checking for a non-existent directory
inside a command substitution does not work. It just appends garbage
onto the output string.
That is probably a bug in BASH, but I defer to your opinion there.
The immediate work around is to create an empty directory so that the
test does not fail. Better still, force the creation of the directory
and remove the test.
eg. change this;
OPTIONS="$(
if [ -r "$OPTIONFILE" ]; then
cat "$OPTIONFILE"
fi
if [ -d /etc/X11/Xsession.options.d ]; then
run-parts --list --regex '\.conf$' /etc/X11/Xsession.options.d | xargs -d
'\n' cat
fi
)"
to this;
OPTIONSDIR=/etc/X11/Xsession.options.d
mkdir --parents ${OPTIONSDIR}
OPTIONS="$(
if [ -r "$OPTIONFILE" ]; then
grep -v "^\s*\#\|^\s*$" "$OPTIONFILE"
fi
run-parts --list --regex '\.conf$' /etc/X11/Xsession.options.d | xargs -d
'\n' cat
)"
