Crontab file is garbled! HELP!

  • 772

I accidentally deleted my .bashrc file in Ubuntu 11.10. I think I restored it but I have two major issues now:

  • Everything that I type has a red squiggly line under it in this field and the suggestion is a german word.

  • My crontab file is completely garbled and looks like this:

    \00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\008\00\00\00\00\00\008@\00\00\00\00\008@\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00@\00\00\00\00\00\00\00@\00\00\00\00\00tw\00\00\00\00\00\00tw\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00 \00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00(~\00\00\00\00\00\00(~\00\00\00\00\00(~\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00H\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00 \00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00P~\00\00\00\00\00\00P~\00\00\00\00\00P~\00\00\00\00\00\90\00\00\00\00\00\00\90\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00

    I replaced my .bashrc file from my computer that runs OS X as they both have generally the same paths in the file.

    Same thing with the crontab file. (I googled it and found a crontab file for Ubuntu 11.10).
