Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. I've been using puppy for a few years now and it's so good that I do full hard disk installs and use it as the only system on several PCs. Up until 5.28 I was able to add some things to /root/.bachrc or /etc/profile that would set up my profile for the terminal. In particular I put :

. /etc/aliass # gives me a bunch of lazy-man's aliass

and

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ ' # displays the current directory at the prompt

For some reason these are no longer run automatically when I open the terminal. If I explicitly type . /etc/profile I get my aliass and the prompt I want but It'd be nice to get this automatically...

Any Ideas?

Thanks

C

In case this might be usefull to someone else...

This is due to roxterm and can be fixed by setting
login_shell=1 in
/root/.config/roxterm.sourceforge.net/Profiles/Default

OR

In roxterm
Preferences/edit current profile/Command --> check "Login shell"

Hi, don't know if this is a solved issue...
Anyway, in this 520 LuPu, to change the bash profile I've to modify this file: /root/.bashrc.
