Description Assen Totin 2015-11-07 17:50:03 EST

Description of problem:
When a shell user is created by Anaconda during setup, it has neither .bashrc nor .bash_profile installed. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora using Anaconda.
2. Create a shell user during installation.
3. Log in with the user (or, if using GUI, open terminal). 

Actual results:
Neither .bash_profile nor .bashrc file is present in user's home directory.

Expected results:
Both .bash_profile and .bashrc should be present.

Additional info:
It is not difficult to install just a simple .bash_profile and .bashrc like Anaconda does for the root user. Without them, even the shell prompt is ugly and uninformative.

Comment 1 David Shea 2016-01-08 14:52:15 EST

Sorry for the delay in responding. What options are you using to create the user? Can you post the logs from the installation? They are available in /tmp during the install, and copied to /var/log/anaconda on the installed system.

Comment 2 David Shea 2016-02-09 17:48:38 EST

Anaconda, via useradd, installs everything in /etc/skel to the new user's home directory, so without logs to the contrary this appears to work fine.
