I don't think this is fixed: when zsh (non -beta) is installed along with zsh-beta there is no way to select zsh-beta with chsh.
I purged zsh-beta (I did not have zsh installed) and there were no zsh related entries in /etc/shells. Then I installed zsh-beta, and /bin/zsh was added to /etc/shells, and /bin/zsh pointed to zsh-beta through the alternatives system. Then I installed zsh, and /usr/bin/zsh was added to /etc/shells. But now /bin/zsh and /usr/bin/zsh both pointed to zsh4 through the alternatives system. So chsh can't be used to select zsh- beta on a system with both zsh and zsh-beta installed. I did not check if the face browser still needs the user's shell to be in /etc/shells, but in any case I think the right solution is to add zsh-beta to /etc/shells. Thanks. ** Changed in: zsh-beta (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- zsh-beta not in /etc/shells (affects face browser and chsh) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272994 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
