^[[A. .profile and Terminal Emulator
Hello;
Did search on this but none found
Just installed bbq proof -- looks like this is 32 bit as uname -a does not conatin amd64, correct ??
So when I launch the Terminal Emulator, it does not seem to run neither .profile nor .bashrc
Any idea why ??
Also, the up arrow key does not echo previous commands
and fc binary is missing ..
Lastly how do I change the terminal background colors ??
Thank you for answering these noob questions ..

Proof is 32-bit: http://linuxbbq.org/wordpress/linuxbbq- ... roof-i686/
There is a 64-bit Xfce release, if you need that: http://linuxbbq.org/wordpress/linuxbbq-xfce64-amd64/
For the profile issue: http://linuxbbq.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?f ... file#p3984
"fc" is a bash built-in command (not a separate binary), and it works on my Proof install, as do the up and down arrow. Are you sure you're in bash, and not some other shell? (did you create a new user and forget to specify /bin/bash for the shell?)
What do these commands tell you:
For the terminal background: right-click in the terminal, select "preferences"
And welcome to the BBQ.

BTW the answer to the bash prob is to delete .bash_profile, well - it worked for me.

Re: ^[[A. .profile and Terminal Emulator
^ Yup, it would source the original /etc/bashrc.rc file then.
Or simply go with zsh, bash is dead anyway :D

Good decision. Add the oh-my-zsh and enjoy pure zsh goodness :)
