Hello,
I also confirm that this bug can still be annoying with the latest versions of
GDM and LightDM :-)
And it can be an easy way to make some jokes just by modifying the .profile!
Then it will be hard for the user to understand why he can no longer start a
new session.
Is it maybe possible to just add an error message if there are problems with
the .profile file?
We can easily detect if there are errors in this .profile file as already
written before:
. ~/.profile || echo ERROR
But also without executing any code:
sh -n ~/.profile || echo ERROR
Thank you for maintaining GDM and LightDM!
