 Posted: Sun May 18, 2003 7:34 pm Post subject: Getting my linux console 'just perfect' |
 |
|
Sorry to ask a million questions.
In KDE i have the 'linux console' little button on my panel. It opens a console w/ the black background and the console font and all that jazz. But my prompt is bash-2.05b, instead of the proper where i am/what computer i'm on one. I can get it by doing a source /etc/profile.
How do i get it to always just have the cool prompt?
Thanks!

Put the following in .bashrc in your home directory
| Code: |
# Change the window title of X terminals
case $TERM in
xterm*|rxvt|eterm)
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$ HOME/~}\007"'
;;
screen)
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033_${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HO ME/~}\033\\"'
;;
esac
# Setup prompt colors
export PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]'
|
and this in .bash_profile, also in your home directory
| Code: |
# /etc/skel/.bash_profile:
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/skel/.bash_profile,v 1.10 2002/11/18 19:39:22 azarah Exp $
#This file is sourced by bash when you log in interactively.
[ -f ~/.bashrc ] && . ~/.bashrc

| If the button is running konsole, you can change it execute "konsole -ls" which will make it open up with a login shell environment. |
