I created a .bash_profile, and edited it accordingly. Still doesn't work. But it looks normal in gedit. However, this is what I found when I opened it in nautilus:
# This script file is executed by bash(1) for login shells. By default, # it does nothing, as ~/.bashrc is already sourced by /etc/profile.
Not the best of ideas, but perhaps, try putting the changes in .bashrc instead of .bash_profile ?
mattlewis (admin) said: Yes, .bash_profile is what you want. (I quoted him like this because I couldn't figure out how to 'quote' more than once.)
No disrespect intended, but who's right? If I edit .bashrc, does it affect .bash_profile?
mattlewis is correct, editing .bash_profile is the Right Way(tm) to do this.
