Zsh prompt / powerline not by default

Maybe this is related to the recent /etc/shells issue?

Possible solution:

  1. Check pacdiff -o for /etc/shells.pacnew
  2. Handle merging /etc/shells while making sure /bin/zsh and/or /usr/bin/zsh are listed
  • After saving the file, double-check they are listed in: chsh --list-shells
  1. If zsh is desired as default shell, check that: getent passwd $(id -u) | cut -d: -f 7 returns /bin/zsh or /usr/bin/zsh
  • If not, run: sudo usermod --shell /usr/bin/zsh $(id -u -n)
