u/zorael

As the title says. I can't find it. If I create a new test user it isn't affected. The distro is Aurora 43 (image-based, Universal Blue).

As an example, I have an Arch Linux distrobox image installed that I cannot enter. After much digging I managed to reduce it to this:

$ podman --log-level debug exec --interactive --detach-keys= --user=root --tty arch su zorael -m --pty

I thought this was something related to distrobox or podman, but then I get a similar error when attempting to run zsh-bench.

$ ./zsh-bench
=> benchmarking login shell of user zorael ...
script: option --command and a command after '--' cannot be combined
Try 'script --help' for more information.
zsh-bench: either 'script' or 'zsh' is broken

As with the distrobox/podman command, it works just fine on the other user.

I have tried renaming everything .z* and .b* in my home directory, hoping to catch all zsh and bash config files, to no effect. My login shell is bash and I only enter zsh via my terminal program's profile and as a setting in tmux.conf. It happens both inside and outside of tmux.

Everything in /etc (bashrc, profile etc) would be common to my normal user and the test one I created, so as long as the test user isn't affected, nothing there should logically be causing it.

Where else can I look? What can I do? I obviously did something on my user but I don't know what it could be.
