Package: x2goclient
Version: 4.0.0.3
 
If I put an
echo "testing"   # exact text doesn't matter
 
at the top of my .bashrc, then the x2goclient crashes immediately when trying to start a session.
 
(The crash does not occur if I put a similar statement in .bash_login.)
 
I have reproduced this on the Windows client; I believe a colleague saw it on both the Windows and Linux clients.
 
The x2go server being used is  4.0.1.6-0~712~precise1.

I can confirm that the issue exists with latest X2Go Client.

I could confirm this issue on Debian wheezy or Ubuntu precise as X2Go  
Server. On Ubuntu lucid, the problem does not occur.

Right, this is on the server. With the Windows client there is no 
.bashrc anyway. I confirmed with my colleague that he saw this on both 
the Windows and Ubuntu Precise clients.

Which windowing system chosen on the server does not seem to matter 
either. I saw it with UNITY and with just "Terminal".

That's interesting. The reason for putting in the echo's was to debug a 
completely unrelated problem about which shell init got run when we were 
running some batch jobs. I had instrumented the init files before 
without difficulty. Thanks for looking at this.

I have looked at this in depth this morning. Indeed an echoing .bashrc  
file breaks X2Go. But it also breaks everything else around SSH, esp.  
scp [1, 2].

The first link [1] also provides a solution that I want to quote here:

""" (file: ~/.bashrc)
[... normal .bashrc stuff ...]

if [[ $- =~ "i" ]]; then
   echo "SPEAK OUT LOUD!!!"
fi
"""

The i-flag in $- checks if the shell is interactive or not. With X2Go,  
this flag will not get set.

Greets,
Mike
