 Posted: Tue May 28, 2002 2:00 pm Post subject: .bashrc not processing? |
 |
|
hi guys.
was trying to figure out why my ~/.bashrc is not being processed by default with a vanilla gentoo install. Got around the problem by moving the file to ~/.bash_profile but i'm wondering what the deal is.
i've got 3 gentoo boxes running, all of them ignore .bashrc files; i'm sure its a setting that i'm not aware of, i'm more curious as to the reasons that gentoo did this...its a pretty standard thing to do.
Thx |

This behaviour doesn't occur with me. I have both .bash_profile and .bashrc in my home directory and .bashrc gets picked up. Very strange behaviour. 
What does your .bash_profile read? This is what mine looks like
| Code: | #This file is sourced by bash when you log in interactively.
[ -f ~/.bashrc ] && . ~/.bashrc
eval `dircolors -b`
alias d="ls --color"
alias ls="ls --color=auto"
alias ll="ls --color -l"
|
Hope this helps.

I had a similar problem with a new user that I created via
It turns out that since I did not specify a shell, it chose /bin/sh for that user by default. I changed the user's shell to /bin/bash and then everything was fine. 
One curious note is that /bin/sh is a symbolic link to /bin/bash. |

should be copied from /etc/skel ????, well anyway in .bash_profile there is a reference to .bashrc (see other post) so that's the trick.

yup, passwd actually didnt have a shell specified at all, defaulting to /bin/sh. setting it to /bin/bash made things Good and Pure.
thx for the tip.. and does gentoo have a bugzilla? this is really an oversight that should be unfubared imo. |
