Bash from Ubuntu to Debian 6
Hello,
There is going to be a simple answer to this, but I can't figure out what I'm missing. Here's the deal:
I'm in the process of switching from Ubuntu 10.04 to Debian 6.0. The install went pretty well after some tinkering, but I want to replicate my bash environment from Ubuntu to the new Debian system.
I've copied over my /etc/bash.bashrc and my /etc/profile. I renamed my ~/.bashrc, logged out and back in, and expected to have my original shell environment because I would be defaulting to the system-wide settings in /etc.
Instead, the stock Debian environment remains: No completion, only the $ prompt, no up-arrow history, etc. I don't get what it's reading from and why /etc/bash.bashrc isn't being accessed. (Bash completion is installed.)
What am I missing? Thanks for any insight, because my productivity bites without my usual bash environment.
