Console text

Hello

When I installed Slack10 if I started a terminal(gnome-terminal) it displayed only bash-2.05b$

And I wanted it to display something like user@host $ . When I installed ximian-artwork theme from Dropline GNOME and restarted GNOME it was ok. So I want to ask, where should I look to see where it has put changes for the terminal ?

Thanks in advance

That's something I'd also like to know. I think it's probably in the shell config, but I'm not sure...maybe .bashrc?

add this to your ~/.bashrc
PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '

For a more consistent approach, make .bashrc consist of only these two lines:

Code:

source /etc/profile
source ~/.bash_profile

Then, put all of your user's aliases etc in .bash_profile and your terminal will be consistent, no matter what it is.

that is much simpler

Thanks. That had been bugging me.

I do the inverse approach :

~/.bash_profile :
source ~/.bashrc

so I can put commands executed only at login in ~/.bash_profile
