Garuda System Settings Shell Changes Point to Incorrect Locations

Issues & Assistance Newbies
1

Hello,

I wasn’t sure where to report this bug, so I’m reporting it here.

First of all, I just installed Garuda Dr460nized and it’s an absolutely beautiful way to run Arch Linux, so props there.

I was checking out the System Maintenance app and I must say compared to OpenMandriva’s and OpenSuse’s, this one is by the far the nicest. However, I went to change my shell under System settings and discovered that all of the shells are pointed to /usr/sbin/, when they are actually located in /usr/bin/, or in the case of BASH, /bin/bash. The first time I made the change, I didn’t really read it (I know, my fault) and found myself unable to login as my user. Thankfully I was able to login as root and change the shell manually.

Output for BASH:

+ set -e
++ which bash
+ chsh -s /usr/sbin/bash nymusicman
chsh: Warning: "/usr/sbin/bash" is not listed in /etc/shells.
Changing shell for nymusicman.
Shell changed.
+ echo 'Shell changed.'
Shell changed.

Output for Fish:

+ set -e
++ which fish
+ chsh -s /usr/sbin/fish nymusicman
chsh: Warning: "/usr/sbin/fish" is not listed in /etc/shells.
Changing shell for nymusicman.
Shell changed.
+ echo 'Shell changed.'
Shell changed.

Huh…that’s an odd one. :thinking:

As far as I can tell, the application is not hardcoded to use /usr/sbin; it seems to use which just like the output says. I’m not sure, but I think this is where it is coming from: src/app/task-manager/os-interact.service.ts · main · Garuda Linux 🦅 / Applications / Reliable Assistant for Native Installations · GitLab

    const shell = this.shell();
    if (shell !== null && shell !== this.currentShell()) {
      script_services += `
            set -e
            chsh -s $(which ${shell.name}) ${this.configService.state().user}
            echo "Shell changed."
            `;
    }

The weird thing is, which doesn’t give me /usr/sbin if I just run it straight in the terminal.

❯ which bash
/usr/bin/bash

❯ which fish
/usr/bin/fish

There must be something specific to how Rani handles this causing which to come up with /usr/sbin. :face_with_monocle:

@dr460nf1r3, can you take a look when you have a chance? It may have to wait until after finals week though! :face_with_peeking_eye:

From a quick look, it must be PATH being different in Rani job executions. Which leads me to Tauri’s shell plugin maybe causing it (it is used to spawn the bash executions).
Can likely fix it by providing it explicitly without?

But yeah, I should be learning right now, ahaha. God-damn it, I’ve never been disciplined or good at that, I’m much better at learning by doing :sweat_smile:

I try to keep track of all the to-dos, but in case I forget about something, feel free to note this down so I can take a look at everything once the time arrives :slight_smile: thank you!
