Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Custom-Spin doesnt boot to GUI when /etc/skel is changed Post 302918189 by sea on Monday 22nd of September 2014 09:11:03 AM
Old 09-22-2014
I've had those 3 for like ALL the 14-16 builds, and i could boot to gui, and all other commands ARE found, like echo, for, cp, mv, ln...
Attempting to fix this now, but the boot to gui fails when just that single script is executed which copies the skel files to hardcoded paths, the copy works...

Also, the only file that gets overwritten, is .bashrc, which contains . /etc/bashrc as well.
Code:
:) /home/sea/prjs/iso-awesome-sea/skel # head .bashrc -n 12
#!/bin/bash
# .bashrc by sea, designed for sea's spin using AwesomeWM
#
#	Sources
#
	[ -f /etc/bashrc ] 				&& . /etc/bashrc	
	[ -f /etc/profile.d/tui.sh ] 			&& . /etc/profile.d/tui.sh
	[ -f $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs ] 		&& . $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs
#
#	Path Updates
#
	[ -d $HOME/.local/bin ]				&& PATH+=":$HOME/.local/bin"

EDIT:
The PATH env from just that build, see screenshot, it even works fine at init 3... Smilie

Please let know if you need additional info

PAM_MKHOMEDIR(8)						 Linux-PAM Manual						  PAM_MKHOMEDIR(8)

NAME
pam_mkhomedir - PAM module to create users home directory SYNOPSIS
pam_mkhomedir.so [silent] [umask=mode] [skel=skeldir] DESCRIPTION
The pam_mkhomedir PAM module will create a users home directory if it does not exist when the session begins. This allows users to be present in central database (such as NIS, kerberos or LDAP) without using a distributed file system or pre-creating a large number of directories. The skeleton directory (usually /etc/skel/) is used to copy default files and also sets a umask for the creation. The new users home directory will not be removed after logout of the user. OPTIONS
silent Don't print informative messages. umask=mask The user file-creation mask is set to mask. The default value of mask is 0022. skel=/path/to/skel/directory Indicate an alternative skel directory to override the default /etc/skel. MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
Only the session module type is provided. RETURN VALUES
PAM_BUF_ERR Memory buffer error. PAM_CRED_INSUFFICIENT Insufficient credentials to access authentication data. PAM_PERM_DENIED Not enough permissions to create the new directory or read the skel directory. PAM_USER_UNKNOWN User not known to the underlying authentication module. PAM_SUCCESS Environment variables were set. FILES
/etc/skel Default skel directory EXAMPLES
A sample /etc/pam.d/login file: auth requisite pam_securetty.so auth sufficient pam_ldap.so auth required pam_unix.so auth required pam_nologin.so account sufficient pam_ldap.so account required pam_unix.so password required pam_unix.so session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022 session required pam_unix.so session optional pam_lastlog.so session optional pam_mail.so standard SEE ALSO
