I recently inherited a Ubuntu Hardy box that acts rather funky out-of-the-box. The first things I tried to do was edit my .bashrc profile to do some coloring and add some aliases I usually have, but then when I try to source the ~/.bashrc I get sh: source: not found
and I have also noticed tabbed autocomplete is also not working at all - I believe this is called bash_completetion, but as I'm sure you can tell, I'm not an expert.
Are there any specific files I should be editing to get this basic functionality I am accustomed to out-of-the-box? and isn't it unusual for the source command to not be installed?
General thought process:
Use ps
to confirm you're actually using sh
not bash
confirm that /bin/bash
exists and works properly (and [re]install it if it doesn't)
use chsh
to change your login shell to bash
install the bash-completion package if it's missing
