RE: Can't set bash prompt
I have solved the problem by recreating the user's account, but I still don't understand it, since the .bashrc of the user was identical to mine... but well, consider it solved. --- David Christensen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escreveu: > Jorge Peixoto wrote: > > One of the users of this machine has a wrong bash > prompt. ... > > If you're using Debian 3.1, take a look at > /etc/profile.

I have a script "cvsenv" which sets up environment variables for CVS usage. It also changes my Bash prompt (PS1). On fresh installs of Debian 3.1, /etc/profile interferes with the later function and I have to adjust things (I set PS1 in ~/.bash_profile which takes care of login shells, and I comment out the PS1 line in /etc/profile).

Doesn't sound stupid to me. :-) echo $LANG echo $PS1 on both accounts. Are both of these login shells (cf. "xterm -ls ..."), are they both running Bash? Lots of recent distros set up login config files brokenly. Are you sure the config that's defining PS1 is being run? Is gnome-terminal told to run as a login shell, thereby invoking login scripts? That's not the default in my experience. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
