Public bug reported: The default .bashrc doesn't enable the color prompt, even though `ls --color=yes` shows colors. The following code is in the default .bashrc: case "$TERM" in xterm-color) PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ ' ;; *) PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\$ ' ;; esac
I propose to change this to the following: if [ $COLORTERM -o "$TERM" == 'xterm-color' ]; then PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ ' else PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\$ ' fi ** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- No color prompt in color capable terminal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156195 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-terminal in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
