Hi,

Thanks.

Good idea.

Try booting the installation CD... then mounting your hard disk.



Then edit the /etc/passwd of your hard disk... The last field of this
file is your shell... replace with /bin/bash and reboot ...



You might just have made a typo... tcsh is /usr/bin/tcsh ... This means
that /etc/passwd needs to contain /usr/bin/tcsh at the end of the
line... not just tcsh ...



Gilles.

  Hi,

  

I changed my shell to tcsh on my ubuntu 7.04 server. I logged out and
when I logged back in, it said it can't find the file. Since that is
the only account, what do I do, reload?

  

Thanks.
