[Solved] arch linux asking for sudo password on startup

ErtyJr · 2020-01-20 23:54:37

I run arch with i3 wm. When I started up arch today, before autostarting i3wm tty1said
[sudo] password for ******** :

the stars are my username obviously, which I have left out. Why is arch suddenly wanting my sudo password after logging in? any time I open a new terminal it is also asking for my sudo password. I used ctrl + c and it just cleared the message and let's me proceed as normal, but I don't understand why it's asking for my password.

Post your .bashrc

There is your problem; you can't alias to a keyword (alias).

Also, please use code tags when pasting to the boards: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_and_code

thanks, did not know that. And I knew about the code tags, I just forgot how they work as I'm used to using markdown files which use ``` for code. I was searching back through my old posts trying to figure out how to use the code tags.

Anyways, thanks for the help, will remove alias from my alias list.

EDIT: Removing my alias keyword did fix the problem.
