Public bug reported: Binary package hint: bash
My global /etc/bash.bashrc file is sourcing /etc/bash_completion which in turn exits with a error status of "2" with the following message: /etc/bash_completion: 44: Syntax error: Bad substitution You can reproduce by sourcing /etc/bash_completion your self in a test script such as this: -------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh . /etc/bash_completion -------------------------------------- Because this exits with an error status 2 it causes any X session, be it GNOME or Ion3 (in my case), to crash.
