[Bug 1879352] Re: /usr/bin/im-launch i3 fails
Thanks, your latest comment made me realize what the error message in the bug description actually says. But neither im-config nor x11-common (which provides /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start) does that kind of double quoting AFAICT. The code appears not to be more complex than: ~$ sh $ START="/usr/bin/apt --version" $ exec $START apt 2.0.2ubuntu0.1 (amd64) ~$ And it has worked for many cycles with the common default DMs such as GDM, LightDM and SDDM. So the code should reasonably not be changed without making sure it works everywhere. Even if I finally understand the nature of the error message, it's not clear to me how that error message gets triggered when using i3. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879352 Title: /usr/bin/im-launch i3 fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/i3-wm/+bug/1879352/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1879352] Re: /usr/bin/im-launch i3 fails
You are correct that uninstalling `im-config` and reverting `99x11-common_start` to its original `exec $STARTUP`. But that just hides the issue by removing the package containing the bug, and in particular these lines in `70im-config_launch`: ``` if [ -x "$IMLAUNCH" ]; then STARTUP="$IMLAUNCH $STARTUP" fi ``` I'm sorry to insist, but I think the understanding of the issue is incomplete. Please look at the error message in the first comment, and compare: ``` rubin ~ $ bash -c '/usr/bin/nosuch xyz' bash: /usr/bin/nosuch: No such file or directory rubin ~ $ bash -c '"/usr/bin/nosuch xyz"' bash: /usr/bin/nosuch xyz: No such file or directory ``` the shell includes only the first component of the command line in its error message, indicating that it has searched for that string in PATH. In the first comment, you'll see that a space character and `i3` appear in the error message. Another fix to this issue is to replace ``` exec $STARTUP ``` with ``` $STARTUP ``` meaning that something in how dash is interpreting that `exec` is causing it to not split the argument correctly. If this was bash I might suspect that STARTUP was an array, but dash appears to not support arrays. It should be possible to replicate this with a new install, installing i3 and selecting that option from the login menu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879352 Title: /usr/bin/im-launch i3 fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/i3-wm/+bug/1879352/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1879352] Re: /usr/bin/im-launch i3 fails
Please note that 'i3' is an argument to the command /usr/bin/im-launch, not part of a file name. So the error message incorrectly says "No such file or directory".

I was able to fix this by changing ``` exec $STARTUP ``` to ``` $STARTUP ``` Interestingly, this doesn't leave a shell process running -- it leaves `gdm-x-session` running. So perhaps that is emulating a shell somehow, but gets the unquoting wrong for `exec`? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879352 Title: /usr/bin/im-launch i3 fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1879352/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
