Running into a slightly strange situation. Basically for reasons outside of my control I'm on a server that somebody else has set up. I've got sudo access, I just can't figure out what happened or find any documentation.
When I open .bashrc
(sudo nano ~/.bashrc
) I get a static view that just overwrites the top row. I can exit only by hitting enter
after hitting Ctrl+X
. Screenshot below.
Same thing happens with vi
, and obviously this makes it impossible to edit anything on the server. Anyone have an idea as to what might be happening here? I've done a lot of googling, but it's tough to lock this down.
Response of lsb_release -a
pasted below.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic
Looking for any weird code lying around I found the following in the .bashrc
:
case $- in
*i*) ;;
*) return;;
esac
I'm not certain what's going on here tbh, but it was the only thing that I didn't recognize so it might be related?
