I am relatively new to Linux, but my background is as a network monkey, so I'm used to the CLI.

I just installed Debian onto a Libre Renegade and that went quite smoothly. So far I have had to alter the the grub at /etc/default/grub in order to change the default resolution due to the hardware I am using.

I then created a new user account using this command:

useradd -m -p password thescaryjello

After that I ran the following commands to create an admins group and add the new account to that group and the sudo group.

groupadd admins usermod -aG admins thescaryjello usermod -aG sudo thescaryjello

However, when I log in as the new account I receive the following message :

-sh 29 [: tty: unexpected operator

Additionally, it doesn't display the username or host name prior to the $.

Any advice as to what might have caused this or where I should look for more information in the system would be greatly appreciated. Any linux or best practices advice would be lovely. Thank you all in advance.
