A week before i tried to change the terminal text PS1 value in .bashrc of my home directory ...as a result my bash login is not exporting any of my PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, INCLUDE_PATH .. whatever i was having in /etc/bashrc is not exported to my login terminal ....
i removed the PS1 entry ...
if i use the command $bash it is working fine ..
but every time i need to type the 'bash' command whenever i open a new terminal ...
whatever i include in .bashrc or .bash_profile also not exported when i select a new terminal ...
There is a difference between the startup files that bash runs at logon and when starting an interactive shell after logging on (the last happens most commonly when starting a terminal emulator in a graphical desktop environment). Commonly the logon files are modified to also run the "interactive non-login shell" files to make the environment the same in each case.
You could add the following at the end of /etc/profile
Code:
case $- in
*i* ) # We're interactive
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc; fi
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc; fi
esac
I think that is bash since it's tthe most used one in the most used distros.
I think also that the catkin solution is the best one can do in this case.

i tried this but it still failing to call the bashrc automatically ... if i call the bash command manually on my shell its working .. but every time i cant do that when ever i open a new terminal ..
just write an "echo this is /etc/bashrc" into /etc/bashrc (and something similar to ~/.bashrc to see if they were invoked.
How do you know they are not executed?
