Fedora 25, using chsh to change shells, I keep changing the shell with chsh -s /usr/bin/fish, but every time I restart the terminal it defaults back to /bin/bash.
I've looked everywhere and can't figure out what to modify to permanently change the default. Anyone able to help?

OP here. Found the answer as soon as I posted >< just added 'fish' to the end of my .bashrc, and it seems to work just fine

Just run chsh with no arguments for interactive mode.

Is the shell in /etc/shells ?

Yeah the shell is in /etc/shells. and I had no problem changing shells, using interactive chsh, just on restart it defaulted back to /bin/bash. Modified the .bashrc above and now everything works fine

but that's not a proper way to do it
you can try manually changing it in /etc/passwd

Did you try logging out and back in again? :)

actually I didn't just closed all terminals and opened a new one. shit. yeah this probably was causing some issues
>>
>>58814457
Yeah, you need to logout then log back in for it to take effect.

yeah works great now, and thanks for the /etc/passwd tip. All the changes I made were in there already, so I removed the .bashrc fish hack above, logged back in, and now i'm good to go. thanks anons
