Konsole is a terminal program out of KDE/Plasma. Similar to 'xterm' of old. The terminal program of choice along the way invokes bash, which goes through its initialization routine. .bash_profile is accomplished upon login, where as opening a terminal session isn't a 'login' event. There are really good reasons to know and promote good user-account hygiene, both for yourself, other users, and the enterprise as a whole.Yes, PS1 should be modified in .bashrc; while adding elements to the end of the PATH variable should be accomplished in .bash_profile. There are other distinctions as well, but those are the ones touched on in this thread.
Thankyou. regards, Steve

Put something extra in it. Start up a new console, see if it affects the new console. e.g. stick into one of them an alias grr='echo grr' And something different into the other one. You'll either get a command not found error, or it'll growl back at you. I can see that each new shell window is affected by the modified ~/.bashrc but not by the modified ~/.bash_profile. I have to start a new logon before it the ~/.bash_profile has an effect. NB: I'm doing this on Mate, but the principle will be similar with other consoles. Of course there could be some that do things their own way.I have added a PS1 setting into .bashrc, which gets set in every new tab opened in console, but I don't have anything in .bash_profile as I've never used it, I was just querying how it worked.regards, Steve -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.orgFedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelinesList Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
