Hey guys, let's go. I started messing around with Linux recently, about a week ago. Let me give you an introduction.
During this week, I've made a lot of mistakes. I even started a GNU course. I've formatted this notebook I'm using for learning about 14 times. It has an SSD and two 1TB external HDDs connected, so I switched between them. I installed distros like Mint, Ubuntu, POP OS, Fedora 40, Arch, Manjaro, and Debian. After this journey, where I installed .zsh from the first format, I faced several issues like plugins installed in the wrong places, typos in configuration files, and corrupted distros, among other problems. Through this, I learned a lot about formatting and partitioning, among many other things. Yesterday, I decided to explore Virtual Machines (I don't plan on formatting any of the 3 distros I'm using to get to know and learn both the distro and the GUIs). I'm currently using Mint Cinnamon, Debian 12.2 KDE 5, and Fedora 40 KDE Plasma 6.
My problem is only with this Debian KDE.
I followed all the steps from a GitHub repository that seemed to work smoothly on most of the distros I installed."
And here's the link mentioned in the text: https://github.com/vaamonde/dell-linuxmint/blob/master/software/06-tilix.md
"I recommend, in case anyone wants to, also install the Tilix terminal.
I did the process exactly as it's there. In the end, when I went to configure it, unlike the others, in the plugin configuration, there were some differences. Initially, I couldn't find the Python symbol as described in the first instructions, and the symbols overlapped the letters, but that was the only difference. At the end of the installation, everything seemed fine except that there was an error in the 'root' login, like /root/.zshrc:8: command not found: #. I spent hours here trying to restore the file and reinstall the plugins until I discovered that the 'K' plugin was in the wrong folder, so I moved it to the correct one, and the problem disappeared.
However, what was still happening was that when entering root mode, instead of entering directly into zsh, I had to type zsh every time, whereas in the home directory it went directly. Well, I ended up executing an instruction to copy the home folder to root and also copied zshc. In conclusion, everything went wrong, so I restored the folder and the previous file, and magically, the problem of entering root automatically was solved.
BUTTTTT there's always a BUTTTTT.
Now I keep seeing:
/home/user/.zshrc:1: command not found: #/root/.zshrc:1: command not found: #
I've searched everywhere and can't find a solution. I don't know what to do. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling (I'm not sure if the methods I learned were enough to delete all plugins and zsh), but even so, I'm back to the same starting point of the error. I even installed something called piratehack, a package that claims to fix errors like this, but it didn't help at all. Today, I spent around 5 hours due to my lack of experience with the system, moving from one problem to another. This is my first forum where I've entered as a user to post a question because I couldn't find anything on Google that solved it."
