After 16.04 to 18.04 to 20.04 Release-Upgrade /usr/share/modules/init/sh No such file or directory

  • 772

Today I upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 to 20.04

After Login I get the error

enter image description here

Error found when loading /etc/profile:

/etc/profile.d/modules.sh: line 6: usr/share/modules/init/sh: no such file or dicrectory

As a result the session will not be configured correctly.
You should fix the problem as soon as feasible

The code in etc/profile.d/modules.sh is:

shell=$(/usr/bin/basename $(/bin/ps -p $$ -ocomm=))

if [ -f /usr/share/modules/init/$shell ]; then
   . /usr/share/modules/init/$shell
else
   . /usr/share/modules/init/sh
fi

But

The path /usr/share/modules does not exist

How to adapt the script?

upgrade 18.04 20.04

  1. I did a fresh install of ubuntu 20.04 on VirtualBox and noticed that the file etc/profile.d/modules.sh does not exist in a fresh installation.

    So I renamed the file etc/profile.d/modules.sh to etc/profile.d/modules.sh.ubuntu16.04 in order not to be executed
    (pattern /etc/profile.d/*.sh within the /etc/profile does not match any more)

    After that the error message does not appear any more.

  2. Delete it

    The /etc/profile.d/modules.sh script is a remnant of previous Ubuntu LTS releases. It may safely be deleted.

    $ sudo rm /etc/profile.d/modules.sh

    After doing so, the error message will no longer appear.
