http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=550069 Summary: Environment Modules not activated for non-login shells Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: sysadmin@gatsby.ucl.ac.uk QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.14) Gecko/2009090900 SUSE/3.0.14-0.1.2 Firefox/3.0.14 The Environment Modules package 'Modules' requires initialisation at every shell invocation. The out-of-the-box behaviour is to read /etc/modules.[sh|csh] only when the shell is a login shell (i.e. reading a profile) and not an ordinary shell. There are a number of possible workarounds but the logically correct one depends on what other shell features are broken by this behaviour. At present, I have simply created local rc files which call the /etc/profile.d/modules.[sh|csh] init files. For example; # /etc/bash.bashrc.local if test -s /etc/profile.d/modules.sh ; then . /etc/profile.d/modules.sh fi Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. yast -i Modules 1. Login to X session 2. Open a terminal window 3. type 'modules avail' -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
