[SOLVED] Bug in the latest deb-live-testing-amd64-gnome.iso

#1 Post by _nobody_ »

From the Buster Live images @ the following website: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/week ... so-hybrid/

There is a bug in the latest .iso. Maybe in all of them. Certainly in debian-live-testing-amd64-gnome.iso [2019-02-18 06:18 2.4G]

Here is the bug!
user@unassigned-hostname:~$ uname -a
Linux unassigned-hostname 4.19.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.16-1 (2019-01-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux
user@unassigned-hostname:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
user@unassigned-hostname:~$ su -m
Password:
root@unassigned-hostname:~# echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

root@unassigned-hostname:~#
Should read/be:
root@unassigned-hostname:~# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
Could you, please, fix this bug in config installation files(could be done in preseed debian/late command phase, but this will be not politically correct)?

Thank you,
_nobody_

Code: Select all

-m
preserves the environment. The $PATH is correct if you came from normal user. This option is superfluous now since su by itself retains path.

Nope. Nay.
user@unassigned-hostname:~$ uname -a
Linux unassigned-hostname 4.19.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.16-1 (2019-01-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux
user@unassigned-hostname:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
user@unassigned-hostname:~$ su
Password:
root@unassigned-hostname:/home/user# cd
root@unassigned-hostname:~# pwd
/root
root@unassigned-hostname:~# echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

root@unassigned-hostname:~#
But thank you for trying... Very good idea! :idea:

Next (idea)!

Thank you,

Try

su -
echo $PATH
This is not a bug.

EDIT: @admin is correct, please read the man page.

Admin is not correct... I already proved it. Please, read above (or try it yourself). Thank you for understanding!

In contrary, U R correct.
user@unassigned-hostname:~$ uname -a
Linux unassigned-hostname 4.19.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.16-1 (2019-01-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux
user@unassigned-hostname:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
user@unassigned-hostname:~$ su -
Password:
root@unassigned-hostname:~# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

root@unassigned-hostname:~#
And... This is because I used to Fedora:
[vuser@fedora29-ssd ~]$ pwd
/home/vuser
[vuser@fedora29-ssd ~]$ uname -a
Linux fedora29-ssd 4.20.10-200.fc29.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Feb 15 18:33:14 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[vuser@fedora29-ssd ~]$ echo $PATH
/usr/share/Modules/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/home/vuser/.local/bin:/home/vuser/bin
[vuser@fedora29-ssd ~]$
But anyway, all credits go to you. :mrgreen:

Problem (for Debian) is solved!

You proved nothing, what you posted as "proof" shows exactly what was suggested.
