Bug Description
Hi all,
Installing fish on my machine only added `/usr/bin/fish` to `/etc/shells` but not `/bin/fish`.
However, on recent ubuntu releases `/bin` is a symlink to `/usr/bin`. So you can indeed set your usershell to `/bin/fish`. If you do that various things might break that rely on the $SHELL environment variable. For example, I was not able to set my display brightness until I manually added the missing entry to `/etc/shells`.
Please add both values to `/etc/shells` like it is done to for bash. Thank you.
