How can I get rid of something running on every ne

Question

I am using Lion. I have an error that outputs on every new terminal session:

-bash: __rvm_add_to_path: command not found

It's an almost brand new user account.. RVM is installed on the other account on the machine.. ~/.bashrc & ~/.bash_profile are both blank.. the out put of env is:

TERM_PROGRAM=Apple_Terminal
SHELL=/bin/bash
TERM=xterm-256color
TMPDIR=/var/folders/ry/8zsyknmx7dj4_2zzvn1n71500000gn/T/
Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render=/tmp/launch-jsfKPw/Render
TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION=303
TERM_SESSION_ID=3EBC0F1A-9867-41E5-8873-75E84B9F712F
USER=incorvia
COMMAND_MODE=unix2003
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/launch-ZQqgPj/Listeners
Apple_Ubiquity_Message=/tmp/launch-u3d1lp/Apple_Ubiquity_Message
__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING=0x1F5:0:0
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
HOME=/Users/incorvia
SHLVL=1
LOGNAME=incorvia
DISPLAY=/tmp/launch-0B0I8s/org.x:0
_=/usr/bin/env

I see nothing related to RVM here.. where else can I look?

/etc/bashrc

# System-wide .bashrc file for interactive bash(1) shells.
if [ -z "$PS1" ]; then
   return
fi

PS1='\h:\W \u\$ '
# Make bash check its window size after a process completes
shopt -s checkwinsize
# Tell the terminal about the working directory at each prompt.
if [ "$TERM_PROGRAM" == "Apple_Terminal" ] && [ -z "$INSIDE_EMACS" ]; then
    update_terminal_cwd() {
        # Identify the directory using a "file:" scheme URL,
        # including the host name to disambiguate local vs.
        # remote connections. Percent-escape spaces.
        local SEARCH=' '
        local REPLACE='%20'
        local PWD_URL="file://$HOSTNAME${PWD//$SEARCH/$REPLACE}"
        printf '\e]7;%s\a' "$PWD_URL"
    }
    PROMPT_COMMAND="update_terminal_cwd; $PROMPT_COMMAND"

Fixed...

In the bottom of my /etc/profile it was sourcing /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

Don't know how that got there...

Answer 1

In Ubuntu 12.04, by default, the /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh will not be loaded when starting a new terminal. So every time, when starting a new termail, cmd as follows must be used to start rvm:

source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

And there are two ways to fix it:

1. open a new terminal-> right click and select Profiles->Profile Preferences->Title and Command->select "Run command as a login shell".

2. open a new terminal->run cmd as follows then the /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh will be auto loaded in a new terminal:

   echo '[[ -s "/etc/profile.d/rvm.sh" ]] && . "/etc/profile.d/rvm.sh" # Load RVM function' >> ~/.bashrc

As some explanation here to say the 1st solution is not a nice one but the 2nd is suggested.

So in other way round, if you do not want the terminal to run something in a new terminal, you need to check whether the auto load is coursed by the two ways:

1. check whether the "Run command as a login shell" is selected and unselect it.

2. open the ~/.bashrc file ,find the lines related loading the function and delete it.
