Error found when loading /etc/profile I get this error in one user every time I log in :

Code:

etc/profile.d/input-method-config.sh: line 10: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70im-config_launch: No such file or directory As a result the session will not be configured correctly. You should fix the problem as soon as feasible.

What is the error?

There is no directory:

HTML Code:

/etc/X11/Xsession.d

How do you "fix the problem"? Last edited by rsteinmetz70112; November 16th, 2019 at 04:30 AM.

3. Re: Error found when loading /etc/profile

   OK

I removed and reinstalled the im-config package where where

is supposed to be, with no luck. The file was still missing.

I found a backup? directory

and copied into

Code:

/etc/X11/Xsession.d/

and the error message went away.

Not sure why reinstalling

didn't fix the issue. I'm wondering what else should be in

Code:

/etc/X11/Xsession.d/

so I am not an expert on this topic: I would suggest that the ones who are; have had problems, and had to wrestle with them.

So from that link I gave, https://askubuntu.com/questions/162391/ ... cale-issue

if you type

into a terminal; and hit the enter key; and if you copy the results and paste them back here please

(th terminal is the black tv screen near the Menu button; and if you select all text in the terminal; right-click and you can copy all that text;

paste it back here, inside the code tags: look at the top line as you type your reply; 5 from the left is the symbol for code tags; click on it and paste inside that little window that opens

After trying to see what package was involved in the offending file (where in the below I replaced our real dropbox groupname with "groupname"):

$ rpm -qf /usr/share/modules/init/sh /usr/share/modules/init/bash: eval: line 42: syntax error near unexpected token `(' /usr/share/modules/init/bash: eval: line 42: ` Dropbox (groupname) set +x; _mlshdbg='x' ;;' /usr/share/modules/init/bash: line 60: export: module: not a function /usr/share/modules/init/bash: eval: line 42: syntax error near unexpected token `(' /usr/share/modules/init/bash: eval: line 42: ` Dropbox (groupname) set +x; _mlshdbg='x' ;;' /usr/share/modules/init/bash: line 60: export: module: not a function file /usr/share/modules/init/sh is not owned by any package $

Regardless of /usr/share/modules/init/sh being reportedly not owned by any package, hunting around on the internet led me to believe an environment-modules package was involved, so risking corrupting other things I decided to try uninstalling it:

$ sudo apt-get remove environment-modules [sudo] password for (username): Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: environment-modules 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 4 not upgraded. After this operation, 594 kB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] (Reading database ... 297080 files and directories currently installed.) Removing environment-modules (4.1.1-1) ... Processing triggers for man-db (2.8.3-2ubuntu0.1) ... $

Now on reboot I received a different error message with red exclamation mark:

Error found when loading /etc/profile:

/etc/profile.d/modules.sh: line 6: /usr/share/modules/init.sh: No such file or directory

As a result the session will not be configured correctly. You should fix the problem as soon as feasible.

:

It looked to me like the uninstall of the environment-modules package left a file behind so I moved the modules.sh away

sudo mv /etc/profile.d/modules.sh ~/away

And finally on reboot I was able to log in and be shown my desktop without any error message so I will mark this problem solved.

PS: thankfully my environment is OK as I was able to run other applications that are under development.
