Subject: Change shell for account
Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2024 02:25:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <GtYuTspGq_SHEjsZHJZEXIFOeMucYKIBc03ORU69C7iCSIceh6yoIJ3Hgr2N0XimWo9SxLhhBYhpnbBoLJj-uXFq5fYyDWpwp3TdC2FUstc=@recursoft.org> (raw)

I'm hoping there's a simple fix for this ... or I'm just doing it wrong. When I setup an auxiliary account using system reconfigure, I forgot to set the shell to zsh. As expected it set the shell to bash. To fix the problem, I went back into my config.scm and added the line:

(
[file-append](https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#index-file_002dappend)

zsh

"/bin/zsh"

)

Now, the shell is /bin/zsh (as determined by echo $SHELL​ and looking at /etc/passwd) but the login shell is still bash (as determined by echo $0​). The problem with this is that none of the zsh shell login scripts run. At this point it would be a bit "problematic" to delete the account and recreate it.

Why is the login shell still bash and more importantly, how do I change it to zsh?

Thanks,
Mike
