Error found when loading /home/[myusername]/.profile

Question

I get this error each time after logging on:

Error found when loading /home/[myusername]/.profile:

stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device

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

How do I fix this? This is an annoying popup to have to click on each logon (and this error also prevents my desktop background changes from persisting). Thank you!
