I didn't have /etc/profile so I copied /etc/default/etc/profile to /etc/profile.
Aside from /etc/profile, I don't have any of the other files that David mentions, but do have the profile.d directory. Here are the permissions of all related files mentioned: bash-4.1$ ls -l profile* -rw-r----- 1 adrian None 6.9K Feb 18 11:14 profile profile.d: total 4.0K -rw-r--r-- 1 adrian root 109 Jan 18 07:50 openssl.csh -rw-r--r-- 1 adrian root 41 Jan 18 07:50 openssl.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 adrian root 74 Jan 29 19:13 xinit.csh* -rwxr-xr-x 1 adrian root 44 Jan 29 19:13 xinit.sh* I did see that both base-files postinstall scripts in /etc/postinstall/ were not executable: bash-4.1$ ls -l base* -rw-rw---- 1 adrian root 1.2K Feb 12 13:13 base-files-mketc.sh.done -rw-rw---- 1 adrian root 925 Feb 12 13:13 base-files-profile.sh.done So I changed them to be: bash-4.1$ ls -l base* -rwxrwx--- 1 adrian root 1.2K Feb 12 13:13 base-files-mketc.sh.done* -rwxrwx--- 1 adrian root 925 Feb 12 13:13 base-files-profile.sh.done* I ran setup again without installing anything --> no change to terminal I ran setup again selecting to reinstall hexedit --> no change to terminal I really appreciate your guys' help! Can't wait to find out what the issue is...
