Problem with terminal

[h66m9d]

hi
when I open "terminal" and going to bash, then I close that it warn me:

There is still a process running in this terminal. Closing the terminal will kill it.

I haven't any open software in terminal but show that.

Did you type anything in the terminal? If so, what? Also, which version of Ubuntu are you using?

Hi

Can you post the output of

cat ~/.bashrc

That is where is would look as well.

Kind regards

When you open a terminal, automatically you start a bash session!

If you then type

$ bash

you'll open another session within the first one!

Thus, the complain when you close the terminal window without exiting the inner session...

I use ubuntu 12.4 and i type below text in terminal:

hamed@hamed-desktop:~$ sudo bash
[sudo] password for hamed:

There you have it. You have a second instance of bash running as root. You'll have to exit root's bash first to avoid that message. Bash can be exited by pressing ctrl-D or entering exit

I just installed sqlite from source on my Ubuntu 11.10 box. I never typed "bash" or any other shell's name during the session, but, apparently the "make" or the sqlite3 program shelled out a few times and did not exit. (I did misuse sqlite3 a good bit.) After four CTRL-D presses with this response:
an echo of exit and another prompt,
the 5th try closed my terminal window.
