Bug#397073: konsole: not reading ~/.bashrc
Package: konsole
Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-1
Severity: important
When starting session programs ~/.bashrc is not being read, which
results in some programs not operating as configured. For example...
My ~/.bashrc contains:
eval `lesspipe`
export GIT_PAGER=less
which tells "gitfm" to use less as its pager and "less" to
automatically uncompress files for viewing. However, because .bashrc is
not read the ^xv key command results in a "....may be a binary file.
See it anyway?" message and forces me to type (and often escape) a
"zless ..." command. This is a minor annoyance with short filenames,
but with long names it requires cutting back to one pane to see the
entire name, and with very long names it requires that plus widening the
Konsole window to full width and greatly reducing the font size before
the entire name is visible for cut'n'pasting onto the command line...
effectively rendering GIT's ^xv command useless.
This is a regression from the v3.4.x behaviour (afaict), and I think it
is important because it can have a major affect on the useability of
programs run in Konsole.
