Aliases No longer Works for User
I have just installed Bullseye on a different drive on my main Linux platform. No problems ere encountered and the system booted normally, both as root and as a user (comp). Without any sort of warning as the user, I can no longer use aliases, nor the normal bash commands on th xfce4-terminal. Root is still working without problems. I don't have the faintest idea a to what is going on. A Assistance will be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P.
