[opensuse] etc bash.bashrc.local doesn't work?
If I copy /etc/bash.bashrc to /etc/bash.bashrc.local I can no longer log into the system. Why is that? It says at the top of the file not to edit bashrc but to use bashrc.local instead. What I am trying to do is stop xterm setting its title to the same thing as the bash prompt, but I am not quite sure how it does it, or why I cannot override it with xterm -T xxxx -n xxxx -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I see why, bashrc calls bashrc.local :(

But you are creating a kind of loop... create it empty, then add whatever you want to add. Not all. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

The problem is I want to change what's there, I think. And it might get overwritten. I have to look at it in detail. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No, .local files are never overwritten. You create that file, you control what is there. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

No I mean bashrc will be overwritten if I change it. Adding a .local doesn't allow me to change bashrc, only to add to it. Unless I can add code which undoes what has already been done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No, neither. Not exactly. When a new bash.rpm is installed, one of these two things can happen: - the old config files remain intact, and the new file in the rpm gets named something.rpmnew. - the old config file gets renamed something.rpmorig (I think), and the new config in the rpm gets applied. In both cases you get both files and a chance to choose what to do. The script "rcrpmconfigcheck" gives you the list of pending config files to study. You can use "meld" to edit both files in comparison. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

So you mean, bash.bashrc sets (for example) "FOO=bar", and you want "FOO=baz" instead? This should work with bash.bashrc.local. If you want an empty Variable FOO, you may either have a line "FOO=" or "unset FOO" in bash.bashrc.local. Since bash.bashrc.local is included quite at the end of bash.bashrc, all variables have already been set so that you can overwrite them. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Not quite that simple. What I have done is below, i.e. commented out some code. I don't know what these variables are _tsl etc. I think I could probably set $TS1 to "" in bashrc.local, I haven't tried it. What I want is to have the prompt set to me@host but the title of the xterm window left alone, as I have already set it to something in .xsession. diff /.snapshots/2/snapshot/etc/bash.bashrc /etc/bash.bashrc 129,137c129,137 < if test "$TERM" = xterm ; then < _tsl=$(echo -en '\e]2;') < _isl=$(echo -en '\e]1;') < _fsl=$(echo -en '\007') < else < _tsl=$(path tput tsl 2>/dev/null || path tput -T $TERM+sl tsl 2>/dev/null) < _isl='' < _fsl=$(path tput fsl 2>/dev/null || path tput -T $TERM+sl fsl 2>/dev/null) < fi ---
