[Bug 230793] New: Starting konsole sessions gives error with command arguments
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230793 Summary: Starting konsole sessions gives error with command arguments Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: volker3204@paradise.net.nz QAContact: qa@suse.de Konsole has fatal problems starting some of its sessions, specifically those which require arguments for the command to run for this particular konsole session. In konsole->settings->configure konsole->session tab->general:execute many arguments are not accepted. For example it is impossible to start a super user konsole session (e.g. by holding click on the new tab icon and selecting Root Shell) because the command to execute is "su -" or "su -l". This produces a command argument error inside konsole (start konsole from a shell to see its stderr output) and the session window never opens. However, changing the command to "env su -l" works fine. Several other default commands shipped with konsole fail as well, likewise many of those I enter myself. I can't see a pattern in the commands that fail vs those that don't. This problem exists with 10.2 GM, as well as 10.1 with current updates. I'm pretty sure it did not exist with 10.1 boxed media, and was introduced with one of the KDE updates. It may also be a KDE problem and not a SUSE problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

In the past it happened that some users screwed up their shell init scripts and couldn't start a session anymore because of error in it, please check this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
