Bashrc file prevents me from login the machine locally

Rocky Linux Tech Help
1

Hi:

I’m using Rocky Linux 9.3 (Blue Onyx), and I found this weird issue: if I use this long bashrc file, then I can’t login the machine locally with this ‘Oh no there is a problem’, but I can still login remotely through ssh, so it’s probally a genome display issue. But when I use the second bashrc(the short one), then I can login both localy and remotely.

1.long bashrc

The issue I got that I can’t login:

1000011763
10000117634096×3072 260 KB

I really have no idea what’s wrong since the most part of the long bashrc are just software path and color management, please let me know if you need more information, really appreciate!

This can be solved with basic troubleshooting.

If I were you I would comment out every line (or function) at a time in your bashrc that’s not in the version that works, then re-enable one line at a time and find out which line or function causes it to fail.

Indeed.

Note the

# User specific aliases and functions
if [ -d ~/.bashrc.d ]; then
	for rc in ~/.bashrc.d/*; do
		if [ -f "$rc" ]; then
			. "$rc"
		fi
	done
fi

unset rc

at the end of the default .bashrc. You can create directory .bashrc.d and add you custom config there as (multiple) file(s). That is perhaps even easier than comment/uncomment and more clear as all your customizations will be in “obvious” place, rather than sprinkled within the main .bashrc.

We have used package environment-modules (and now its variant, Lmod from EPEL). The idea of these modules is to have per-application config in separate files that user explicitly loads on need, rather than on login. (Properly written modules can also unload, restoring previous environment.)

The gcc-devtoolsets pull in scl, which now requires modules (as does openmpi). Users of those thus have the package already installed.
