I have an odd problem/difficulty with initiating bash and the condition exists for all users and root, including a new user. initiating bash in a terminal after a noticable delay provides: <quote> bash: have: command not found pat@wahoo:~> </quote> all cl invocations show this except: bash --norc bash --noprofile --login sh So I moved all the /etc/bash* files/directories one at a time until I localized the problem to /etc/bash.bashrc available to view: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~pat/bash.bashrc which belongs to: aaa_base-11.2-43.46.1.x86_64 from: http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.2/ downgrading to: aaa_base-11.2-43.45.1.x86_64 from: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss provides the identical file, /etc/bash.bashrc, an no relief :^( trouble-shooting suggestions and/or possible solutions welcomed with open hands. :^) tks, -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
