GunnarHjrobert_ancell: Hi Robert!21:09
robert_ancellGunnarHj, hi21:10
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: Have you noticed the latest comments at bug #678421?21:10
ubot5bug 678421 in lightdm (Ubuntu Trusty) "Error message for a faulty ~/.profile script" [Low,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/67842121:10
robert_ancellGunnarHj, yes, but I'21:10
robert_ancellm no shell scripting expert21:10
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: Right.21:10
robert_ancellGunnarHj, do you think the problem will affect many people?21:11
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: No.21:11
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: But since it's a (small) regression and there are pending SRUs I wanted to make sure that you are aware of it.21:12
robert_ancellsure am21:12
robert_ancellworst case we'll pull that change out and do it in a following SRU21:12
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: The actual issue is this: Previously, if one of the profile files tried to source a file - e.g. in /etc/profile.d/ - with invalid sh syntax, the problem was logged in ~/.xsession-errors. Currently the problem gets only logged in a /tmp file.21:15
robert_ancellGunnarHj, why do we need the temp file?21:16
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: Its purpose is to trigger a dialog in case of errors, and it does for other kinds of errors but syntax errors in all files, and for syntax errors directly in one of the profile files.21:18
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: Personally I don't think the issue is serious enough to interrupt the current SRUs.21:19
robert_ancellGunnarHj, we should just change it to "Look in ~/.xsession-errors"21:19
robert_ancellSince only "experts" will be editing ~/.profile anyway21:19
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: In that case you still need to know when to tell the user to look in ~/.xsesson-errors.21:21
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: I'd suggest that we ask e.g. pitti for advice. Maybe there is a simple fix that I haven't been able to figure out.21:22
robert_ancellGunnarHj, yeah, pitti is the right person21:24
GunnarHjrobert_ancell: Ok, I'll try to catch him tomorrow.21:25
