Error on Root Login
 

I added ASCII art to show up at login and now get the following errors before my picture

-bash: MDNNN: command not found
-bash: .?10955OI?I10955I..: command not found

Should I be worried/how can I fix this?

Thanks!

How did you add the ASCII art?

how did you add this ASCII art ?
changing the boot GUI is not a simple thing

I took a picture and converted it to ASCII with an online program. Then I created a file with Vim which I added to the .bashrc file. It actually took me a while to get it to work. I think I must have created an error in the .bashrc file, but don't know where to go to look for a correct version of the file so that I can find out what I messed up.

I am very new to Linux, just installed a virtual machine and then CentOS a couple of days ago. I have been figuring out how to do things by reading stuff online and watching how to videos on YouTube.

Any help is appreciated - also suggestions for projects that I can try to muddle my way through.

Please post the contents of your .bashrc and the file you created.

The .bashrc is supposed to be a shell script that is sourced at login, not text to be displayed at login. You could always put the ASCII art into a file (~/myart.txt or the like) and then cat that file from the .bashrc.

That's actually what I did - sorry still don't know the lingo.

Also - I think I should have made a back up for .bashrc before I messed with it!

When I log in to my root file this is what currently shows up

As long as you don't post the requested info we will not be able to help you.

Sorry didn't see that request. When I went in to my .bashrc file I realized that I must have just accidentally added some extra text. I deleted that and all is good now. Thanks though - this forum is very helpful! I actually think I learned a ton trying to figure out how to fix my 'problem'.
