</div></div>Ah, I never thought of that. Don't use the cli much so not sure how to<br>
identify which shell I'm using.<br>
<br>
I typed 'shell' into the PCLOS konsole and it returned 'bash' which I<br>
recognise although the system also said it didn't recognise the command.<br>
<br>
I did the same with the ubuntu under VirtualBox and it hesitated for a<br>
few seconds and suggested I'd made a mistake and offered a few choices.<br>
But it didn't identify the shell.<br>
<br>
I'm sure it is all very easy - if you just know. But I don't.<br>
<br>
Some pointers about tinkering with perms would also help.<br>
