Hi Gunnar, > It would make the file not being loaded in case of a syntax error, and an entry printed to ~/.xsession-errors.
I don't know if it's better to ignore this file in case of syntax errors or to refuse to start a new session but for me, the most interesting thing is to notify the user what's wrong. That can be made by adding a line in the ~/.xsession-errors file but I think it's better to display a new dialogue which explains the error. Because if you just ignore this file and print an error in ~/.xsession-errors, I'm not sure that the user will see that there is a problem with his/her ~/.profile file. Personally I don't often read this file :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/678421 Title: Error message for a faulty ~/.profile script To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/678421/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
