No .profile / .bashrc files about install-jdk-on-steam-deck

[BahaminShahriari]

Hold up a minute... is the error still happening? I'm not seeing that error while you run the commands.

Those errors only appears after I use source ~/.bashrc command, and they will go away if I open a new Konsole.

I mean, the Java works perfectly if I write a bash script to locate the java bin first then locate my java file after using -java command, but it does not open the Java file by double clicking as it's not added to PATH correctly.

/etc/profile.d/flatpak-bindir.sh
/etc/profile.d/flatpak.sh
/etc/profile.d/freetype2.sh
/etc/profile.d/gawk.sh
/etc/profile.d/gpm.sh
/etc/profile.d/kde.sh
/etc/profile.d/libva.sh
/etc/profile.d/locale.sh
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh
/etc/profile.d/steamos.sh

All these bash scripts are seeming to be default files, as I didn't touch them manually. But there might be something that decky loader have done to them, I'm not quite sure.

[BlackCorsair]

hey! I'm sorry I let you waiting for so long @BahaminShahriari

@rasitayaz

might be an issue related to the default .bashrc of steamos at the stable channel

It is! Just checked with my own SteamDeck, which I didn't reinstall the OS since it came to me on October 2022, and I had the following:

#
# ~/.bashrc
#

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[[ $- != *i* ]] && return

After pasting the bashrc from @BahaminShahriari (I asumed that we all had the same file) , I've also encountered the same error. But the error persists even I you don't run my script or even if you "uninstall" it.

Your bashrc appears to be the same as the one in /etc/bash.bashrc, only that the one I have in /etc also has the following line:

[ -r /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ] && . /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion

Which just checks that the bash_completion exists before loading it.

The issue is definitively this line:

PROMPT_COMMAND="__steamos_prompt_command '$PS1'${PROMPT_COMMAND:+; $PROMPT_COMMAND; }"

I'm not really sure why they're concatenating the PROMPT_COMMAND, but that line is the issue.

On the bright side, even if you don't use source ~/.bashrc you can start using the java installation as soon as you open a new terminal or a new bash shell... but that isn't really a solution.

What I've found it works, it's removing the '${PROMPT_COMMAND:+; $PROMPT_COMMAND; }. Once it's no longer on the file, I'm not encountering anymore the issue. I'll try to get in touch with valve asking about the bashrc so they may enlighten us.

@rasitayaz

also, shouldn't JAVA_HOME be set to /home/deck/.local/jdk/jdk-17.0.8 instead of /home/deck/.local/jdk?

Looking at oracle's page I think it's fine. Although it's true it should be better to use the $JAVA_HOME variable instead in the PATH variable instead of setting the full path... DRY

From this issue I'll make a PR removing the source ~/.bashrc part of the guide until this is worked out. Also I'll finally add the "how to uninstall" guide and maybe later a script.

Hi @BahaminShahriari ,
Could you post me your ~/.bashrc here? Please make sure that there isn't any credentials or secrets before posting it.

To temporary "fix" the warnings, open a konsole terminal and run sh. It will run a different 'shell' that won't load (or shouldn't) your .bashrc which contains errors.

[BahaminShahriari]

Sure, I checked a few times for sensitive information, I didn't spot any, and let's hope I'm not wrong about it 😄

Thanks for your time.

[BlackCorsair]

it's a bit weird, I ran your .bashrc without problems. Do the following and post me all the outputs:

• ls -la
• cat ~/.profile
• /bin/bash -lixc exit 2>&1 | sed -n 's/^+* \(source\|\.\) //p'

I suspect that maybe there's another file that your bash is sourcing the cause of the error, because it's executing three times the __steamos_prompt_command instead of just one and then does this weird thing: ; '

Hold up a minute... is the error still happening? I'm not seeing that error while you run the commands.

If you want to uninstall the jdk installed by this script, you should:

# this is the installation dir
rm -rf /home/deck/.local/jdk

# this is the file that tells your shell and your programs where is that installation
# and by looking the contents, you don't have any other personalization
rm ~/.profile

# then in your .bashrc file, delete the following line:
[[ -f ~/.profile ]] && source ~/.profile

# although that line only loads that file if it exists

If you want to further debug this problem, I'd have to take a look at all these files in your system:

/etc/profile.d/flatpak-bindir.sh
/etc/profile.d/flatpak.sh
/etc/profile.d/freetype2.sh
/etc/profile.d/gawk.sh
/etc/profile.d/gpm.sh
/etc/profile.d/kde.sh
/etc/profile.d/libva.sh
/etc/profile.d/locale.sh
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh
/etc/profile.d/steamos.sh
/etc/bash.bashrc
/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
/home/deck/.bashrc
/home/deck/.profile

Because these should be all the files that your bash loads every time and maybe there's the error.

I'm getting the same prompts when I type source ~/.bashrc but java works. might be an issue related to the default .bashrc of steamos at the stable channel.

[rasitayaz]

also, shouldn't JAVA_HOME be set to /home/deck/.local/jdk/jdk-17.0.8 instead of /home/deck/.local/jdk?

thank you for the response @BlackCorsair. I tried to run a java program that checks JAVA_HOME for the jre installation, and it was saying that the environment variable is set to an invalid path. changing it to /home/deck/.local/jdk/jdk-17.0.8 solved the problem. that's the reason why I asked this.
