Terminal using bashrc settings under root but not user in LXDE
Hi,
When I use the linux terminal under root I get all the bashrc settings - colour - aliases etc but when logged in under User I don't. The .bashrc file in in the root directory but no in my home directory. Just wondering how I can fix this.
Many thanks scasey - I copied the .bashrc file from the root dir to my home dir and it worked. I didn't know you could have more that one .bashrc file on the system. I didn't create a user a but just followed the default settings during the LXDE installation. Would the fact that my home directory is on a separate partition have anything to do with the .bashrc issue
Cheers
Julian
It’s mostly about the fact that each user has its own home directory. Each user has their own .bashrc in that directory.
And I would expect that $HOME for root (/root) would be on a different partition than the user’s (/home/user)
