I have an Amazon EC2 Machine running Ubuntu 10.04.
The default user, ubuntu's .bashrc
seems to be behaving properly, but if I ssh
or su
to the second user, mikey, it doesn't display properly until I run bash
:
Ex 1.) Changing user with su
mikey@home ~$ ssh ubuntu@EC2
ubuntu@EC2:~$
ubuntu@EC2:~$ su mikey
$
$ bash
mikey@EC2: $
Ex 2.) SSH-ing in directly as the user
mikey@home ~$ ssh mikey@EC2
/home/mikey/.bashrc: 13: shopt: not found
/home/mikey/.bashrc: 21: shopt: not found
/home/mikey/.bashrc: 99: shopt: not found
/etc/bash_completion: 33: [[: not found
/etc/bash_completion: 39: [[: not found
/etc/bash_completion: 52: Bad substitution
\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]\u@\h:\w$
\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]\u@\h:\w$ bash
mikey@EC2:~$
I've tried playing around with ~/.profile
and ~/.bash_login
to include
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
but so far, nothing has seemed to do the trick.
any pointers would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
If, in fact, your shell isn't bash
, you can try to change it like so:
usermod -s /bin/bash mikey
If /bin/bash is the location of bash
on that system.
I think your default shell is dash
or sh
and not bash
in this case. echo $SHELL
should show it, should it show /bin/sh
, it might be a link, so check that ls -l /bin/sh
doesn't link to some other shell.
