HI people, have an odd one.

I fixed Einstein's computer, all good. I don't want to recreate all the users so I just recycled. One is perfectly fine, but his has one funny thing.

Yakuake (trintiy) show "sh #" rather than "localhost" It's using and saving konsole's profile (konsole is behaving normally). Tried computer uninstall and reinstall. I don't want to trash the user and start over again. Is there anything I should look at? I've checked all the usual but any suggestion from any starting point is welcomed.

Can you check, that the users shell inside of yakuake is actually bash and not e.g. dash?

Hi people,

Nik and, I can't recall who else but he deserves credit, had me go very basic.

Whilst the user was set to use bash, and yakuake was using konsole profile. I decided to check the bash rc file. They looked slightly off, so I deleted all of them and restarted x. All good now.

I've had to remove a fair few more rc files just in case for other oddities.

After a long discussion with his mother, he's now longer going to be allowed to use her computer and, instead, must get his own. So I ended up deleting his account after saving his data.

Oh well, at least it was a learning experience.

Thanks for all the input, it is appreciated.
