You have been subscribed to a public bug:
In my .bashrc I have defined a function named ‘l.’ to list dot-files only.
This has worked with all linuxes so far and does not give any error with bash
when I source .bashrc so I regard it as an allowed function name.
After I upgraded to ubuntu12 I get the following entry in my .xsession-errors
/root/home/bmdadm/.bashrc: line 70: `l.’: not a valid identifier
I have commented the function and then get
cat .xsession-errors
/etc/bash_completion.d/apport_completion: line 107: `_apport-bug’: not a valid
identifier
It seems that the unitiy Xserver has some bugs or flaws as it complains about
identifiers which are allowed syntax in bash.
There are other bash_completion packages which also use '_' as the first
characters so the Xserver needs to accept those variable or function names.
