Changing .bashrc for a root user can trigger a segmentation fault.
Changing .bashrc for a root user can trigger a segmentation fault.
I believe I damaged my Debian installation and didn’t follow the steps carefully. I need to regain my understanding of reading commands again. I was attempting to enable color-coding in the terminal, using different colors for directories, files, exec items, etc., and modified .bashrc files by adding some text, but I’m now forgetting what I added. After trying to edit it with nano or vim, I encountered a segmentation fault and was forced back to the regular user account. I can’t access .bashrc even when opening it in those editors. Is there a solution to fix this?
The terminal displays the current user's identity. It checks for a bashrc file at the top and, if present, sources it before running the command.
