From man bash:
When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a
non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads
and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file
exists. After reading that file, it looks for
~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order,
and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists
and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the
shell is started to inhibit this behavior.
When a login shell exits, bash reads and executes commands
from the file ~/.bash_logout, if it exists.
When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is
started, bash reads and executes commands
from /etc/bash.bashrc and ~/.bashrc, if these files exist.
This may be inhibited by using the --norc option. The
--rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute
commands from file instead of /etc/bash.bashrc and ~/.bashrc.
I guess that the SSH connect is a login shell, while the terminal is
not a login shell (especially if you run it manually).
Hence, if you connect with SSH, Bash will run /etc/profile and
~/.profile. My ~/.profile has a section like the following:
# if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
. "$HOME/.bashrc"
fi
fi
which is also in the .profile in /etc/skel/, I therefore assume that
this is currently shipped with Debian.
I suggest you check whether these files (/etc/profile, ~/.profile,
~/.bash_profile) exist and whether they load ~/.bashrc.
Best regards,
Claudius
