Placing in /etc/profile.d breaks X #13

Closed plasmoduck closed 3 years ago

plasmoduck commented 6 years ago

After copying scipt to /etc/profile.d and rebooting. The graphical login screen is stuck in an endless loop asking for password, I input correct password then it loops back to asking for password again. Removing the file from /etc/profile.d and rebooting fixed this and allowed me to login and start the desktop.

Source the motd.sh script in the file ~/.profile by placing a link to it at the end of the file like /path/to/motd.sh and it will be executed after login.
