Hi,
Thanks for the update.
However I'm still encountering this problem.
Upon starting fish, I get this error message:
switch: Expected exactly one argument, got 0
/net/home/rcc/skk/local/stow/fish/share/fish/functions/__fish_config_interactive.fish
(line 149): switch $fish_greeting
^
in function “__fish_config_interactive”,
called on line 104 of file
“/net/home/rcc/skk/local/stow/fish/share/fish/config.fish”,
in function “__fish_on_interactive”,
called on standard input,
At present, my $HOME/.config/fish/fishrc file contains no references to
fish_greeting nor does the output of "set -n".
Am I doing something wrong?
For now, I'm commenting out the switch block in
__fish_config_interactive.fish. Of course, this isn't the best solution
to my problem.
Thanks,
