Incidentally this required a restart of<br> X using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. On logging back in I got an error window saying:<br> <br> <br> Error found when loading /home/gostal/.profile<br> <br> ...module: command not found<br> <br> </div> <div>...<br> <br> <br> This is because I now have put the line:<br> <br> <br> module load use.own<br> <br> <br> in ~/.profile to make my own modules available. This is only half the<br> reason. I had also forgot to rename the package initialisation script<br> under /etc/profile.d/ which I had saved as modules.sh.ubuntu before<br> editing it to see if it was run some time ago. For some reason renaming<br> is not enough as reinstalling the package then does not put modules.sh under<br> <div>/etc/profile.d/. Perhaps it only goes by a contents hash, what do I know?<br> <br> <br> 5 Renamed the saved<br> <br> <br> /etc/profile.d/modules.sh.ubuntu<br> <br> <br> to<br> <br> <br> /etc/profile.d/modules.sh<br> <br> </div> <div>Logged out and logged back in. This time I didn't have to restart X. Now<br> to the interesting observation. This time I did not get the error window<br> that I got under step 4. I other words the set shell commands are<br> available when ~/.profile is sourced. They are not, however, when I<br> fire up a command window. If the sourcing of ~/.profile is a part of<br> the same process running the initialisation file this is the expected<br> outcome. But the export of the commands has failed.<br> <br> <br> /Gösta<br> <br> </div> <br> </div> <br> <p></p> </div> <hr tabindex="-1" style="display:inline-block; width:98%"> <div id="x_divRplyFwdMsg" dir="ltr"><font style="font-size:11pt" face="Calibri, sans-serif" color="#000000"><b>Från:</b> Gunnar Hjalmarsson <gunnarhj@ubuntu.com><br> <b>Skickat:</b> den 6 maj 2019 11:58:56<br> <b>Till:</b> Gösta Ljungdahl; Ubuntu Developers<br> <b>Ämne:</b> Re: SV: compatibility issue in environment-modules version 4.1.1-1</font> <div> </div> </div> </div> <font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt"> <div class="PlainText">On 2019-05-06 09:36, Gösta Ljungdahl wrote:<br> > On 2019-05-05 22:35, Gunnar Hjalmarsson wrote:<br> >> From a quick look at the code in environment-modules I see that it<br> >> seems to test for the BASH_VERSION variable.

This leads `.bashrc` being sourced indirectly via .profile. IMHO, `.bashrc` should not be sourced even *once* in this situation. I suggest that sourcing .profile actually be done with BASH_VERSION unset:     BASH_VERSION= . "$CONFIG" At the very least, a check should be done whether bash is the user's login shell.
