changes recenly in the bash.bashrc?
so, i'm in some sort situation i wasn't able to fix in the last hours (hours bc of rebooting).. the last yaourt -Syua , full system upgrade left me with nothing but
(none) (user) (or was it "(none) (tty1)? I'm writing this from memory)
i made the mistake to not always care about .pacnews, so i have no automerge/vimmerge or whatever program at hand, also not vim because i have no access to my systen apart from archlivecd > mount the partition my system is on.
the recent .pacnews (fstab,gshadow,bash.bashrc,rc.conf) had no visible changes for me, diff (oldfile) (file.pacnew) was no big help. so the only file with visible changes was bash.bashrc.
so i did try and error, inserting lines of the old bash.bashrc, but mo success.
what i don't think is problem related is that i excluded the KDE-* package from updates but i still use kdm for starting i3 / scrotwm, i haven't got the time up to now to get ridd of kdm.
the source of the problem must be /etc/bash.bashrc or did I miss some updated file? find / *pacnew (or sth llike that) did uotput only the 4 files in /etc
a lot of searching forums/searchmachines didn't help. i know this sounds somehow 'greenhornish' but i have no access to the computer or access to output of cmds or some files, also sorry for constant lowercase letters but i'm typing this on my n900.
/add: keyboard at login shell doesn't work either, every reboot is pushing button.

Re: changes recenly in the bash.bashrc?
You should only get a /etc/bashrc.pacnew if you've changed /etc/bashrc, so you should know what you have done and should just be able to restore from a recent backup.

No. Never do that. It makes for nonsensical threads and is also against forum rules.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !
