Issue with gnome terminal in Fedora 30

c2ycharlie · September 16, 2019, 3:47am

Hello friends,

Recently I installed Anaconda on my machine and since then my terminal has been working inappropriately. I downloaded the anaconda file from their website and issued the command in my terminal: sudo sh anaconda.sh. Since then, whenever I start my terminal I get a blank screen until and unless I press the enter key.

Only after I press the enter key do I get the option to enter any command.

I want to know how can I fix this. Note, after installing anaconda, I did upgrade my workstation to kernel 5.2.13. I may also be a cause to the issue. I dont know. Could any of you please help me out? Here is my system information.

Thanks in advance!

Check this:

sudo rpm --rebuilddb
sudo rpm --verify --all

Hey @vgaetera, I tried the above commands but it didn’t help. Any idea what should I do now? Also, I wanted to know what could be the reason for the malfunctioning of the terminal.

Please, post the output, so we can isolate the cause of the issue.

I would also check ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc, I think modifications to these can produce effect @c2ycharlie describes.

Default *.bash_profile should look similar to:

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin

export PATH

and default .bashrc

# .bashrc

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
        . /etc/bashrc
fi

# User specific aliases and functions

Here are the outputs @vgaetera. Note: These commands did not help to correct the problem.

What should I do next?

Hello, I did check the bashrc and it appears somewhat like this:

What changes should I make in this?

vgaetera · September 18, 2019, 7:50am

The Bash configuration seems to be modified.
You can restore the default settings this way:

cp -f /etc/skel/{.bash_logout,.bash_profile,.bashrc} ~

Thanks @vgaetera. This saved me a ton!
