Mageia forum

Under M2 KDE when I go in console it did n reconize some Bach Cde as URPMI etc...
An help give me a list of Cdes who seems not to be original BASH Cdes!!!

Please provide exactly what you have entered and the output you got, copy & paste.
Also urpmi can only be run as root, otherwise it will tell you:

Code: Select all

[doktor5000@Mageia2 ~]$ urpmi
bash: urpmi: command not found

What list of codes do you want?

Under M2 KDE I understand now what append.My son was here last week and he changed my bash for a Konsole in KDE who has stupids Cdes ex su -root don t work you have to enter root only!!!
for help they answer to go to www gnu.org/software/coreutils????????
But I ve BASH well installed on my M2,but when a try to exec bash nothing apears.
How can I uninstall this stupid Konsole and have again my old good bash terminal?

Seems you're mistaken. Konsole is only a terminal emulator, which is running your current shell.

By entering one of the following commands you can see which shell you're running currently in the konsole (or in any terminal emulator).
The last one shows what is the default shell on your system.

Code: Select all

ps $(echo $$)
echo $SHELL
ls -al /bin/sh

This is what it looks for me under Konsole:

Code: Select all

[doktor5000@Mageia2 ~]$ ps $(echo $$)
  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
30245 pts/0    Ss     0:00 /bin/bash
[doktor5000@Mageia2 ~]$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
[doktor5000@Mageia2 ~]$ ls -la /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jul 30  2012 /bin/sh -> bash*

Maybe your son has changed bash configuration by editing ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile ?

laskachien:
For what it's worth nether of the examples you site will work in a bash console.

Code: Select all

bash

is a shell not a command.

Code: Select all

su -root

Has never worked but

Code: Select all

su

or

Code: Select all

su -

or

Code: Select all

su - root

does work to enter a root prompt.

As this isn't a Discussion about forums I'll move it to Basic Support.

Edit: It seems I can't move it so someone with more powers will need to do that.

Hello
Under M2 and KDE when I go in terminal Konsole,some bash cdes are not installed!
Y try yum cde not found digging more I get "you have to install yum with zipper".If I must do that for all classics Cdes it s crazy!
Another problem why one need this cde for root su - root the other need only su ?Linux is well but I think it need a good sweep avay,all these tips for a simple tip is difficult for a new user

edit doktor5000: merged with existing thread

Do you even read what people respond? Check e.g. viewtopic.php?p=34738#p34738
and this thread right here where you didn't even read what we replied to you. Together with the new thread you started today, i count 4 threads where you spread the same " bash " problem, which is none.

Neither is yum a " bash code " and neither is your problem with entering root instead of su - default bash behaviour.
Yum is an application, if it's not installed you cannot start it, and for convenience the installation is suggested.
Also why do you want to use yum? Yum is the package manager frontend under Redhat/Fedora, we have urpmi.

Yes novices ask stupids Q for you,Before you explain me Konsole was not bash,Yum was not a bash Cde!I ignore it.I read all thetopics, your link viewtopic go to the old topic!Nothing new.By digging and digging I find tha in bash dir Ive all the Cdes installed.Another and last Q why when I try "execute bash"(I find it somewhere) nothing appens?

Sorry, i don't really understand what your problem is.

You wrote, that you tried to "execute bash". If you entered this literally as a command, this will not work, there is no command "execute".
What was described there, was to run some command within bash. If you don't provide more context, or where you found this, i'm afraid i can't help further as i fail to understand what your actual problem is currently.

OK That s not important,a friend had given me this cde "execute bash' the difference is that is on his Opensuze OS.That s the difficulties of Linux what go on one does not on other!I ve solved the thread by reading and searching.When you are novice you do not often know what exactely you must ask because you don t know the B A BA of the terms.As for me in the first time Konsole=bash!!!

Well, some further explanations/clarifications. The linuxes are not all that different, shell is always the same and really similar.

For "execute bash" your friend maybe meant to "exec bash" which would partly make sense (exec bash inside a bash does do nothing except to remove parts of your current environment, like user-defined varaibles - you mentioned that your son changed something, maybe he added some alias/function for "root" and some other shell customizations) or to just run/execute a bash shell. There is no such command "execute" on any linux. There's also no command "root", for what it's worth.

On a related note, if you ask some question in a support forum, or describe a problem that you like to get solved, then if you don't reply if people ask/ to provide the output of some commands for diagnose/troubleshooting, and then you do not reply, but instead google for the problem and do something totally different, and then say like
"hey, i found this command via google/a friend, but it didn't work as expected, please help"
that is quite detrimental or even harmful.

For your shell, if you still want to know where "root" comes from, please show me the output of the following as normal user:

Code: Select all

type -a root

I tried it -a root answer -a command not found?!!!

The complete command, as it stands in the code box, is "type -a root".
"type" is the command to run, "-a" an option and "root" the argument. Just copy & paste the contents of the code box into the terminal and run it.
Please copy & paste here the command you ran and the result.

Code: Select all

type -a root

returns
bash: type: root: not found
sorry to butt in doktor

That means your bash doesn't recognize any command called "root", which i tried to prove to you.

thks doktor showed me something

bash: type: root : non trouvé=not found
Why ?How to solve?Don t understand I type du it ask well PW and I m root!!!What sw<rong

excuse don t find Edit Cde to retify type su!!and what s wrong!!

Seems you're a bit confused. Didn't you understand, that there is no command called root? root is the superuser/admin/priviledged account on all *nix systems, but it's not the name of a command. Check maybe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_user

If you are already root, why would you want to type su?
And if you are not, su will ask you for the root password.

What is your problem?

no problem this tread is arrived in my box..,and I see now only that it is not my question but from spiky....
