this thread replace the one from myself on 2023/07/27 17h45 which can be removed by administrators if required.
I use /etc/profile.local to set bash global function and bash global env var.
My file “system_common_function” is sourced in /etc/profile.local to set global function.
My file “system_common_general_env_var” is sourced in /etc/profile.local to set global variables.
PROBLEM 1 :
To print in purple i use a variable named ‘MY_LIGHT_PURPLE’ which is defined in the file “system_common_general_env_var”
This is working as expected
Code :
echo "$MY_LIGHT_PURPLE This is a test"
Print text in light purple as expected
MY_LIGHT_PURPLE is defined like this :
MY_LIGHT_PURPLE=$'\033[1;34m'
But journalctl show :
juil. 27 16:49:40 15-5-G731GV startplasma-x11[2616]: org.kde.plasma.libkworkspace: Skipping syncing of environment variable "MY_LIGHT_PURPLE" as value contains unsupported characters
PROBLEM 2 :
All global functions defined in “system_common_function” are not accessible by users.
Using any function return an error.
Example using my function ‘get_uuid_of_swap’ which should return the uuid of t(he swap partition :
get_uuid_of_swap
If 'get_uuid_of_swap' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf get_uuid_of_swap
journal ctl show :
juil. 27 16:49:40 15-5-G731GV startplasma-x11[2616]: org.kde.plasma.libkworkspace: Skipping syncing of environment variable “BASH_FUNC_get_uuid_of_swap%%” as name contains unsupported characters
In the file “system_common_function” the function is defined as this :
function get_uuid_of_swap () {
local L_FLAG
L_FLAG=$(lsblk -o uuid,mountpoint | grep -w 'SWAP' | cut -d' ' -f1)
if [[ -n "$L_FLAG" ]] ; then
echo "$L_FLAG"
return 0
fi
return "$E_NOT_CONFIGURED"
}
export -f get_uuid_of_swap
I use my two files for a very long times and it was working as expected up to 15.4
