What profile does Konsole use on startup

2006-03-17 Thread Donald T Hayford
When I run Konsole in KDE, it doesn't appear to be using my 
~/.bash_profile as the startup file.  Does anybody know how to change 
this?  Or to tell what file it is using?  I looked in the Konsole help 
manual, but couldn't find any information.


Thanks - Don

Depends on whether you are a user or root. There is one for both. You 
want to make Root shell use su - so that you get roots environment.

I suspect your problem is with KDM, not Konsole.  When KDE gets started this 
way there is no proper login shell. There is a shell script that should 
source .bash_profile, but because it's running under sh, it doesn't 
understand the bash specific stuff. 

I did once experiment with a .bash_specific file that got sourced either in 
bash_profile, or .bashrc according to whether a BASH_ONCE variable had been 
exported. I think it worked, but I dont have it anymore.
