How do I make Bash my default shell on Ubuntu?
Use:
chsh
Enter your password and state the path to the shell you want to use.
For Bash that would be /bin/bash
.
For Zsh that would be /usr/bin/zsh
.
On top of akira's answer, you can also edit your /etc/passwd file to specify your default shell.
You will find a line like this example:
john:x:1000:1000:john,,,:/home/john:/bin/sh
The shell is specified at the end.
Enable bash:
$ /bin/bash
Change shell for user:
$ sudo usermod -s /bin/bash username
where:
-s, --shell SHELL new login shell for the user account
