| Locking yourself out of SDDM with .bashrc | 2026-03-01 |

Transferring
I'm going to SCaLEx23. I don't tend to use my laptop as a primary device so I was transferring everything.
I literally can't live without my aliases and shortcuts so in my rush I somehow moved a copy of my .bashrc into ~/.bashrc.d. Which doesn't sound like a big deal except I have this in my main file.
if [ -d ~/.bashrc.d ]; then
for rc in ~/.bashrc.d/*.sh; do
if [ -f "$rc" ]; then
. "$rc"
fi
done
fi
Why load everything in? Because I'm lazy.
I find out on next login that I'm stuck in a login-loop. Getting in through TTY3 check the thousands of SDDM error crashing messages in journalctl and remove the rogue file.
The Fix
I've since moved everything to only loop over items ending in .sh to avoid this unwanted files being sourced.
