screen(1) not sourcing ~/.bash_profile

introuble · 07-21-2006, 04:18 PM

Well, as the thread title suggests, it seems that on my system [Ubuntu Linux 6.06] screen(1) is not sourcing ~/.bash_profile. Any ideas on how I can change this?

Try

Code:

$ ln -s ~/.bash_profile ~/.profile

.bash_profile is only read on login shells and screen launches 'ordinary' (non-login) shells.

The .profile "fix" didn't work. I figured it out and fixed it in the following way:

Code:

echo "shell -bash" >> /etc/screenrc

If you had read the man page, you would have known that user's configuration file is called .screenrc. Once again, man rulz

Hi BiThian,

I don't think your English is bad at all. Even if it were I wouldn't see a need to apologize -- you (presumably) made an effort to learn English as a foreign language as did scores of others on this forum and everywhere else. That certainly isn't something to be ashamed of. That's my opinion at least (as another non-native speaker).

edit .screenrc and then add
shell -$SHELL
