When you open a terminal from gnome you are not using a login shell, so .bashrc is used and .bash_profile is not used. To have it work in both circumstances simply copy the aliases from .bash_profile to .bashrc. Or you can change the term properties in gnome as others have said to make it a login shell by default. The man page for bash explains when each file is processed and will help you understand why the differences. > Tom > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
