Description Osama Albahrani 2025-09-09 21:13:39 UTC 
Description of problem:

The prompt is "bash-5.3#" in Fedora 43. I confirmed reproducible in a container.

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. podman run --rm -it quay.io/fedora/fedora:43
2. See prompt

Actual results:

bash-5.3# 

Expected results:

[root@8201b9c3858b /]# 

(on Fedora 42)

Additional info:

The rootfiles seem to be missing:

% podman run --rm -it quay.io/fedora/fedora:43
bash-5.3# ls -a ~
.  ..

% podman run --rm -it quay.io/fedora/fedora:42
[root@33bec04b7d30 /]# ls -a ~
.  ..  .bash_logout  .bash_profile  .bashrc  .cshrc  .tcshrc

I could've sworn this was already reported, but I couldn't find it again, searching for "prompt" or "rootfiles". So I am opening this bug report.

This was also reported in the devel mailing list by Peter Robinson "on remote F-43 hosts": https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/RDH2OSRZV55Z6JRO32ROXHET4ABZEC45
Comment 1 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2025-11-06 11:25:59 UTC 
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/39588 might resolve this.
Comment 2 jackyzy823 2025-11-25 11:26:06 UTC 
I think this ticket https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2356069 is more related.

Maybe either do `systemd-tmpfiles --root=/mnt/rootfs --create /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/rootfiles.conf` in https://github.com/fedora-cloud/docker-brew-fedora/ Dockerfile side or in https://pagure.io/fedora-kickstarts/ kickstarts side ?
