Public bug reported:
I have installed the 05/25 daily of Cosmic, and when I went to run qterminal
I found that:
There is no prompt;
There is no cursor key for history or line editing
(one only gets output like: "$ ls ^[[D^[[C^[[A^[[B" )
If there is an error, one gets something like:
"$ auvcg
/bin/sh: 3: auvcg: not found
"
I assumed at first that it was a qterminal problem, so I installed my usual
sakura, and had precisely the same symptoms.
Since it is extremely unlikely that somehow both programs would suddenly have
the same bug
(both having functioned correctly for me in the past), it must be something
outside each, that is common to all terminals.
The /bin/sh seemed to be a clue, as I was almost positive that the usual shell
script program was bash.
If one runs bash in the terminal, one gets one's prompt back and history and
line editing function again.
However, one needs to call bash for each terminal program and each instance
that one is invoked.
I have been unable to figure out where bash is supposed to be called,
(presumably upon login) or I would have compared that location/file with
my primary install or previous ones, to see where they differ.
