The reason was that I had made a new slackware installation in which then in the /etc/passwd under my user name at the end of the line there was no :/bin/bash as it used to be. I found it out when I added an arbitrary user in which then again bash was not started in the terminals. Again on his passwd line there was no :/bin/bash. So it had nothing to do with me getting too old for Linux. It's a new "gimmick" in slackware which one has to find out first.
