I created this topic by purpose in the general discussion category since it’s not my problem, but I’m curious what could cause this.
On a fresh installation on a Zero W, everything works with the user dietpi, but not with root user (no dietpi- functions and no tab for autocomplete).
Any ideas?
What functions are missing explicitly?
He just told me about dietpi-config does not work and didn’t want to investigate further, since it’s working with dietpi user.
I also wonder how he completed the setup after first boot without root user.
some more information on what exactly the issue is and what symptoms he has would be helpful 
New to dietpi here, I read the install instructions on dietpi site, flashed 2 sd cards with the ARMv6 32-bit image in order to install it on a Pi Zero W 1.1 and a Pi Zero V1.3 with a waveshare ETH-USB-HUB-BOX hat for the 1.3 Pi. Installation runs smooth, I get the dietpi login screen and ssh is working on both units. But for some reason I dont get any of the Dietpi-commands to work.
That’s all we have.
Where do you have this from? Any other forum?
Could be this issue DiePi own distribution script - no bash · Issue #5771 · MichaIng/DietPi · GitHub
User should try this
usermod -d /root -s /bin/bash root
Login again and check
Nothing to debug. We simply need to create new images. In meantime people can use the workaround to get things working.
workaround: usermod -d /root -s /bin/bash root
