At least I thought so, what else could be the cause. But I just emerged |
| 8 |
aterm, and the default is also to be not a login shell. There is a -ls |
| 9 |
option for this, or the loginShell resource. Same as for xterm. So, there |
| 10 |
should be no difference in those two shells. Maybe you started them with a |
| 11 |
desktop shortcut that has extra options in it? |
| 12 |
When debugging such things, I modify the startup files and add statements |
| 13 |
like '[[ $- == *i* ]] echo .bashrc', so I see which ones get read. The [[ |
| 14 |
]] stuff makes this happen in interactive shells, so scripts are not |
| 15 |
confused by the text output. |

When starting one terminal from inside another, environment variables will |

Still looks like login shell behaviour, or else ~/.bashrc should have been |
| 50 |
read. |

Did you run env-update.sh? This puts all the stuff in /etc/env.d/ into |
| 55 |
/ect/profile.env. |

Hmm. Does grep -r LC_ALL /etc find something? |

Seems to be normal behaviour of the locale command. |

Sorry, I don't know what's going on there. |
