   Hello Robert,

I will make no warranty of this, but ...  I use the Konsole virtual
terminal and really enjoy it's power. I love that I can open one term,
and have 100 more in the same window - how cool can it get! What I did to
get the things to read my settings was: konsole %i %m -caption "%c" --ls
Notice the '--ls' on the end. How I did it, was to right click on my konsole
icon on the taskbar and then clicked on the Execute tab. See if that makes
it mo-better for you. BTW, Konsole also supports the 'transparent konsole'
option, so it will display your desktop thru the vt :) It's really the
little things 

My user prompt:  
{bogus} U=jaye
Dir=~ pts/2$

My root prompt:
YOU ARE ROOT!! on bogus
~ pts/1>

tatah

Bash Prompts???

2001-02-08 Thread Robert Tilley
I've visited some bash prompt sites that give examples of these neato and
wiz-bang prompts that my terminal is supposed to be capable of displaying.

Problem:  In none of the shells I've tried (konsole, xterm, etc.) these
artful additions to be .bashrc files have produced nothing.  The only result
is continued display of a boring and pathetic (to me) command-line.

While I'm not trying to have my terminal play the Stars & Stripes whenever I
hit ENTER, some minor display of information would be useful.  Things such
as the time, current directory, etc. would be good to have on my screen.

One such site is http://www.interlog.com/~giles/bashprompt/prompts/.  Is
there a KDE console/terminal program which will display these?
