Error on startup of Terminal

[MiKenning]

[SORRY WRONG FORUM]

Whenever I start up Terminal on my Mac, I always get this massive error thing:

declare -x Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render="/tmp/launch-6A9wFF/Render"
declare -x Apple_Ubiquity_Message="/tmp/launch-gwQ1Vr/Apple_Ubiquity_Message"

declare -x USER="Mike"

How do I resolve this? Thanks.

Perhaps repair permissions in disk utility? I am unsure.

How do you know it's an error? Just looks like gibberish.

Well, it sure as hell wasn't there when I first got my mac.

look at ubiquity.log to see what's being written there.

I've seen three scenarios fix this. It's usually either a keychain issue, or caused by MobileMe/iCloud corrupting things. If you have dev tools on it it can also be caused by the ProKit Framework. Without seeing the log, here's the general fix

1: try fixing disc permissions
2: Download and install 10.7.3 combo updater from Apples website and install
3: nuke and reinstall. Yeah, I know it's ugly.

It's choking on fulling knowing who you are and tying userID/cert to the bash shell when you launch terminal.

You could also double check your ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc, etc files. That will get printed out if you do something like:

export $FOO....

instead of

export FOO...

I do that all the time by accident when assigning environment variables while in terminal.
