Mageia forum

hi all

i completed an installation of mageia and all seems to work fine
however when i start Konsole ot lxterminal i cannot use the change directory command cd
the following is what i get:

Code: Select all

rbash: cd: restricted

this happens only with normal user, no problem with root

i searched around on the net and it appears that bash is started in "restricted mode"......

how can i use a command line console in mageia without be restricted??

Uhmm, rbash (short for restricted bash, see man rbash for more information on it) is normally only used for the xguest user,
because there we actually want a restriced shell. Please login as a normal user, and show the output of

Code: Select all

id

and the output of

Code: Select all

grep $(whoami) /etc/passwd

as normal user.

BTW which installation medium did you use, and which Mageia version did you install, 1 or cauldron?

ok, solved, only xguest user is restricted
with normal user i get no restriction....

thanks
