[Bug 596149] [NEW] gdm can't login to any session when /bin/sh is symlinked to bash

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: gdm

Description:	Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release:	10.04

After the last system  update I no longer can login to the system using the gdm login screen.
gnome-session failsafe kde or even xterm all have the same effect that after I press the login button I simply en up back at the login prompt.

I can login using the console.
If I start xinit then gnome-session it looks to be working have not used it that much so I'm not sure if there is any ill effects of doing it this way.

I have not found any information in any logs I know about and have
failed to find any way to make more information available.

I did modify the gdm.conf to strace everything but I'm not sure how it's
supposed to work so it do not help me to find out where the problem is.

** Affects: bash (Ubuntu)
