app-misc/screen ignores alias setting

[punkid]

I have a bunch of alias setting in my .aliasrc file, and append

Code: Select all

source ~/.aliasrc

to the .bashrc.

However, the screen app seems to ingore all of these aliases, I cannot use 'em in screen. Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this ?

Best Regards.

put '[[ $TERM==screen ]] && echo hello from screen' just before the line you add in you bashrc, start screen, and see if, when you open a new window, you have the 'hello from screen' text printed.

If you do then show us you ~/.aliasrc, otherwise check your ~/.bashrc to see if you have TERMinal specific actions ( you can also post your bashrc, (without the comments) if it's not too long.

Unfortunately it doesnt work, and here is my ~/.bashrc file.

Code: Select all

if [[ $- != *i* ]] ; then
	return
fi

if [[ -f ~/.dir_colors ]]; then
	eval `dircolors -b ~/.dir_colors`
else
	eval `dircolors -b /etc/DIR_COLORS`
fi

case ${TERM} in
	xterm*|rxvt*|Eterm|aterm|kterm|gnome)
		PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"'
		;;
	screen)
		PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033_${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\033\\"'
		;;
esac

[[ -f /etc/profile.d/bash-completion ]] && source /etc/profile.d/bash-completion
shopt -s histappend
source ~/.aliasrc

hello again, did you solve this?

what if you put this line in your .aliasrc: "echo hello from .aliasrc"

and now when you start a new window in screen, do you see the hello message?

Hi, truc. Currently I am on my summer vocation, thus I'm not available at my Gentoo box of my college dorm.
However, I tried the same ~/.bashrc profile and ~/.aliasrc setting in my home archlinux system, the screen works pretty well, and I can see the echo line appended in ~/.aliasrc.
