Bash prompt not showing

[jwbrase]

Thanks for helping.

The output is for both commands:

No such file or directory

This doesn't surprise me. /etc/skel/.bashrc doesn't exist on my system.

Could you open up ~/.bashrc in a text editor and post its contents?

Also, in your terminal, go to "Edit -> Profiles" and make sure that "Profile used when launching a new terminal" is set to "Default" (unless you've been creating your own profiles, "Default" should be the only profile that exists, so you should be fine here). If it's set to something other than "Default", that is probably your problem.

Then go to "Edit -> Profile Preferences" and then to the "Title and Command" tab.

If the "run custom command instead of my shell" box is ticked, untick it. Once again, if it is ticked, this is probably your problem.

The configuration from the terminal is fine, nothing to change.

I did notice, and did not recall, that I have a terminal to display it on the desktop, named "miterminal", this one is working well!


Can you please help me on how to print the contents of the folder you are requesting me?

Thanks

It's not a folder, it's a file.

Open up your home folder in Nautilus, go to "Edit > Preferences" and make sure "Show hidden and backup files" is ticked. You should then be able to find the file ".bashrc" in your home folder.

Open it, highlight everything in the file, hit "Ctrl-C". Make a new post in this thread, and type:

[code][/code]

Put the cursor between the code tags, and hit Ctrl-V.

Your post should then look like this:

[code]Whatever is in .bashrc[/code]

Hit "Submit reply" and you're done. Preferences and make sure

Hello

Thanks for your help, and sorry for the delayed response.

Please see attached photo, the folder from basch did not appear even thought I ask to show everything on the preferences menu.

.bashrc is a file and you are looking at directories, scroll down.
