Since upgrading my debian. Bash in dolphin's terminal is not loading the config files. However, bash in Konsole is loading these.

What can I do to get Dolphin's terminal to load these?

After some testing I note that if I start dolphin with the shell closed and then open it, then all is good (it loads the configs). However, if dolphin starts with the shell open, it does not load the configs.

$-

#↳ echo $-
himBHs

In both shells

~/.bash_profile

ll ~/.bash_profile
ls: cannot access '/home/richard/.bash_profile': No such file or directory

  • Does dolphin have a setting to launch your shell as a login shell? – glenn jackman Oct 07 '22 at 18:04
  • @glennjackman I can not find any login shell setting. I have added a section to my question. – ctrl-alt-delor Oct 07 '22 at 19:18
  • A possible solution (but it's not so useful in my case) is: Go to `Settings` -> `Startup` -> `Show on startup` and you select the second option to specify a location. That works but I prefer to save the windows state from the last time. – Edgar Magallon Oct 07 '22 at 21:23
  • @EdgarMagallon can you tell us why that works. What is your reasoning. I tried it and it seems to work, but … – ctrl-alt-delor Oct 07 '22 at 22:06
  • @ctrl-alt-delor I'm not really sure. I've had the same problem for a long time and I found that solution in reddit or another forum, I don't remember well. It seems that's a dolphin bug. – Edgar Magallon Oct 07 '22 at 22:30
  • @EdgarMagallon can you put that workaround in an answer. If you label it workaround, then and nothing better comes along, then I will mark as accepted. Else at least an up vote. – ctrl-alt-delor Oct 08 '22 at 09:20
  • @ctrl-alt-delor sure! I'll do it – Edgar Magallon Oct 08 '22 at 16:47

This solution should be useful for some people, in my case I really like the dolphin feature about Show on Startup Folders, tabs, and window state from last time. If someone like that feature too then this solution will not be useful.

First, in dolphin you have to go to Settings -> Configure dolphin:

Now you have to choose Startup option and select the second option to specify a location:

That seems to work for everyone who has the same problem. However I've seen that's a dolphin bug though I remember reading that only in some distros this bug is present.

My current dolphin version: 22.08.1 and OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed
