Terminal not opening b/c edit to ~/.bashrc

[k den]

Hey Guys,

So I wasn't thinking straight and added an 'exit 0' to the end of my ~/.bashrc . Now my terminal only opens for a split second before killing itself. Can I edit the ~/.bashrc file without using terminal? I wasn't able to find it in the file manager (since it is a dot file.) Thanks!

Assuming you're using the standard Raspbian stuff: the file manager has an option to show hidden files (can't remember in which menu it is).
Activate that and you should be able to see the file.

Found it! Thanks so much! So once I save the file with leafpad (without exit 0) and reboot, the terminal should open, correct?

Yes, unless you made some more interesting edits to the file
(Actually, you may not have to reboot at all. Not sure about that though)

It works! Thanks so much guys!

If you did it as pi, you can login in as root and change it.

.bashrc is executed by /bin/sh. no reboot needed.

just login and log out.
or login out and ssh in from another pc.
