starting bash as a login shell every time
 

I upgraded slack to current and found that now when I start an X based terminal it loads bash as a non-login interactive shell. This means that bash does not load /etc/profile or ~.bash_profile, only .bashrc. How can I make bash start as a login shell everytime it is executed, or everytime it is executed by an X based terminal?

-Thanks in advance.:D

Use a command-arg like:
konsole --ls
xterm -ls

It does not allways work however, for example when using an integrated terminal. Personally I modified my modified my .bashrc-script and added an "export PS1".

I simply added:

to .bashrc to achieve the same effect more easily than changing every shortcut in every wm for a terminal to a login shell.

This way, you can just leave .bashrc with those two commands, and add all your aliases, functions and whatnot to .bash_profile and have them load for login shells and subshells.

Thanks. You're awsome man.

-Thanks again.:D
