[SOLVED] default bash.bashrc

I've tried to change bashrc to have Bash color prompt
but it didn't work for me so I restored it to the default settings but it still shows errors

/etc/bash.bashrc: line 4: $'\r': command not found
/etc/bash.bashrc: line 6: $'return\r': command not found
/etc/bash.bashrc: line 7: $'\r': command not found
: invalid shell option namehopt: checkwinsize
/etc/bash.bashrc: line 9: $'\r': command not found
/etc/bash.bashrc: line 11: $'\r': command not found
/etc/bash.bashrc: line 12: syntax error near unexpected token `$'in\r''
'etc/bash.bashrc: line 12: `case ${TERM} in.

this is my /etc/bash.bashrc

Re: [SOLVED] default bash.bashrc

How exactly did you "restore it to default settings"? This looks like it got edited and spit out through a Windows editor leaving carriage returns strewn about. Reinstall the bash package.

Or another variant install zsh and oh-my-zsh with builtin themes and enjoy.

Re: [SOLVED] default bash.bashrc

Then that was configured incorrectly, regardless, the easiest here would be reinstalling the bash package and then moving the pacnew file over the incorrect copy.

This is terrible advice. There are many threads here involving problems caused by OMZ. It's a mess.

Re: [SOLVED] default bash.bashrc

And after you do that, edit you'll be better off editing your ~/.bashrc, not the system-wide file.

FWIW, you could likely resolve this also by simply removing the carriage returns:

sed -i 's/\r//g' /etc/bash.bashrc
