This unfortunately doesn't work.

That's the most simple and easiest way, I guess.

But I will try the script, too.

Thanks.

Can anyone tell me, how I can find out to which package a file belongs?
I know how to get a file list of a package if I know the package name, but not how to get the package name if I only have a file name.

i put here :

# run xfce4-session if installed

. $HOME/.bashrc

if which xfce4-session >/dev/null 2>&1; then
Looks good. I have it there, too, well, before the comment, but that's technically irrelevant.

. $HOME/.bashrc use space in . and $ ?
Right. "." is a substitution for the command ...

Right before the line You probably can add it at the beginning of the file, after the first line, of course. I haven't tested this.

Right. I just didn't get around to post the solution here and mark this thread as solved, too. ;)

To get the right umask for GUI applications the line ". $HOME/.bashrc" has to be added to /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc.

Maybe this should be added officially in the appropriate package(s) by default. This ...

I found the solution. Adding the parameter --nohints to the agetty commands in /etc/inittab disables the hints about Num, Caps and Scroll Locks.

I found another bug. This time it's the scanner resp. the permissions for the device.

My unprivileged user is in the groups scanner and lp, but the user can't access the scanner and sane-find-scanner doesn't find it while it is listed by lsusb. The problem is that the scanner device in /dev/bus/usb ...

I have another problem. I want to keep the default umask 022 global and for root, but want to set umask 077 for unprivileged users. So I set umask 077 in the users' ~/.bashrc. Every console application respects this umask, but not the GUI applications like LibreOffice, Leafpad, etc. Those GUI ...

On the console between issue and the login prompt I always get the message "Hint: Num Lock on".

Where does this message come from, and is it possible to deactivate this message?

On a notebook it can be quite helpful, even if there's a num lock indicator light, too, but on a desktop I don't like it ...

I used this kernel version as well as earlier and later ones with Gentoo and Arch Linux before, and never had this issue. And Arch Linux doesn't patch the kernel too heavily. So if it's a kernel bug then I think it only occurs with a specific kernel configuration resp. a combination of kernel ...
