https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1227210 Bug ID: 1227210 Summary: bash-git-prompt only works for login shells Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: All OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Development Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: lassi.vaatamoinen@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- There's a slight bug in the package, caused by the fact that /etc/profile.d/bash-git-prompt.sh is executed via /etc/profile. Now, the bash-git-prompt works properly when you login for example on a non-graphical TTY, or via SSH (even on localhost), as here we get a login shell. BUT when you enter to a desktop environment, and use a terminal application, bash-git-prompt __git_ps1 gets overridden by /etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt that comes as part of git-core, as that script is executed for non-login shell by /etc/bash.bashrc So, the sequence of issues to the problem is here: User comes to a login screen (e.g. SDDM) LOGIN -> /etc/profile gets executed /etc/profile.d/bash-git-prompt.sh PROFILEREAD=true Open Konsole /etc/bash.bashrc (and ~/.bashrc) get executed /etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt is executed -> overrides the previously set git prompt. -> bash-git-prompt is only usable for login shells (sudo -i, ssh, TTY), not in graphical desktop envs. NOTE: it does not matter if for Konsole, you set startup command as '/bin/bash --login' , since PROFILEREAD=true already (I assume), so the bash-git-prompt scripts won't get run. IMPROVEMENT: make bash-git-propmt run in the bashrc -sequence, too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
