I use startx to launch my xserver. A default xterm comes up with no
error. However when I start a new xterm from the window manager, I get
the following error:
bash: /home/havenerk/.bashrc: line2: unexpected EOF while looking for
matching `''
bash: /home/havenerk/.bashrc: line3: syntax error: unexpected end of
file bash-2.00
here is my .bashrc:
# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells
PS1=\u\'@'\h\n\w
Question 1: since this used to work under bash 1.14, I presume it's
related to bash 2.00's posix compliance, but what 2.00 convention have I
broke? Where should I put the matching `'' to get the same functionality
as before?
Question 2: Why doesn't the error occur in the default xterm. After all
that isn't a login shell...is it?
PS. yes I know I should read the fine manual, but it's in
incomprehensible english and comprehensible english is my native language!
Thanx for your quick fix suggestions
