#148: Failsafe GNOME isn't actually failsafe-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: jdreed | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Keywords:
-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- The "Failsafe GNOME" session is currently advertised as a replacement for
the Athena 9 "Ignore my customizations" login option, except it's mostly
useless. It ignores ~/.xsession, so that's good. It also ignores
/usr/athena/lib/init/However, it still runs .cshrc.mine and .environment
(because we conditionalize that on $NOCALLS, which athena xdm used to
set). So we need to change some things:
- In /usr/lib/init/{ba,c}shrc, we should set NOCALLS if
$GDMSESSION=="GDM_Failsafe.GNOME"
- The "logout" alias currently depends on XSESSION being set. XSESSION
will not be set in a failsafe session, so typing "logout" in a Terminal
will get you "Not a login shell."
