vte.sh

Mellowbob · 2019-02-02 00:01:15

I think I buggered things up smile I tried out budgie desktop, decided I really didn't like and uninstalled. But, now every time I start a terminal (xfce4-terminal, but it's actually a bash message) I get:

bash: /etc/profile.d/vte.sh: No such file or directory

So, I deleted the vte files in /etc/profile.d. Nope ... not the right thing to do!

But, now I have still have the warning, and I cannot figure out how to get the vte files back. Synaptic shows that they are part of libvte-2.91.common but reinstalling that package doesn't put any new files in /etc/profile.d. And, even if it did ... I think the error would still be there.

Ideas?

Ubuntu package libvte-2.91-common includes file /etc/profile.d/vte-2.91.sh. i have no idea how it ends up with the name /etc/profile.d/vte.sh but my system has the file with the version in it. i renamed my copy to a weird name and don't get the error message. so i presume you need to enable it somehow and then it might copy or rename the file and modify things to source it.

i only have the one file. i don't specifically use it and don't get any such message on my 16.04 system.

look in file /etc/profile to see if there is any code in there that references vte.sh. if there is, you might want to edit it and comment where it references it. mine does not.

if you have vte-2.91.sh you might want to copy it to vte.sh in there.

my /etc/profile is:

# /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shell (sh(1))
# and Bourne compatible shells (bash(1), ksh(1), ash(1), ...).

if [ "$PS1" ]; then
  if [ "$BASH" ] && [ "$BASH" != "/bin/sh" ]; then
    # The file bash.bashrc already sets the default PS1.
    # PS1='\h:\w\$ '
    if [ -f /etc/bash.bashrc ]; then
      . /etc/bash.bashrc
    fi
  else
    if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
      PS1='# '
    else
      PS1='$ '
    fi
  fi
fi

if [ -d /etc/profile.d ]; then
  for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
    if [ -r $i ]; then
      . $i
    fi
  done
  unset i
fi

Thanks. The problem was I didn't have vte-2.91.sh. So, I grabbed the vte source from: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/vi … e/vte.html and copied the vte.sh file from it to /etc/profile.d/vte-2.91.sh and all works. I really don't understand why synaptic shows that the vte files are in packages but they don't don't install with the --reinstall option. Oh well ... seems to be working now.

Could you explain in a bit more detail how you 'copied' the vte.sh file to /etc/profile.d/vte-2.91.sh?

What command did you use to copy, did you overwrite the current file?

Mellowbob · 2020-03-07 02:37:00

As root I changed the copied the vte file I got to /etc/profile/.d

sudo cp vte..whatever /etc/profile.d

Next, create a link to it:

cd /etc/profile.d
sudo ln -s vte.sh vte..whatever

Note: "..whatever" represents the name of the file you got. Clear as mud??? Caution, I did this about a year ago so my recollection of the details is fuzzy.

here is something that may help if nothing has worked out:

1. Use debugfs to view a filesystems log

$ debugfs -w /dev/mapper/wks01-root

2. At the debugfs prompt

debugfs: lsdel

3.Sample output

Inode Owner Mode Size Blocks Time deleted
23601299 0 120777 3 1/ 1 Tue Mar 13 16:17:30 2012
7536655 0 120777 3 1/ 1 Tue May 1 06:21:22 2012
2 deleted inodes found.
(there's also another approach that this www.mspy.com article suggests)
after that, things should go simply.
4. Run the command in debugfs

debugfs: logdump -i <7536655>

5. Determine files inode

6.With the above inode info run the following commands

# dd if=/dev/mapper/wks01-root of=recovered.file.001 bs=4096 count=1 skip=7235938
# file recovered.file.001
file: ASCII text, with very long lines

Files been recovered to recovered.file.001.
