Context
By default, the Ubuntu system uses dash upon the installation. However, the arbitration
software must be installed in bash mode. Therefore, you must disable dash when installing the
arbitration software in the Ubuntu system.
In any directory of the Ubuntu system's operating system, run the sudo dpkg-reconfigure dashcommand.
Press the → key, select No, and press Enter to disable dash.
The system shell is the default command interpreter for shell scripts.
xUsing dash as the system shell will improve the system's overall performance. It
does not alter the shell presented to interactive users.
Use dash as the default system shell (/bin/sh)?
