i use konsole, and since i installed the new kde 3.2, the colors have been lost... for example, executables are green etc. how can i change that?

i just realized that now i am using bash, but i dont know what i was using before... before instead of

bash-2.06b$

it would show my current location

Sounds like your /home/user_name/.bashrc & .bash_profile are missing here are mine from the /etc/skel directory on Debian you may have to make changes or check for the same in your directories.

Code:

>$ cat /etc/skel/.bashrc

# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.

# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc)

# for examples



# If running interactively, then:

if [ "$PS1" ]; then



    # don't put duplicate lines in the history. See bash(1) for more options

    # export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups



    # check the window size after each command and, if necessary,

    # update the values of LINES and COLUMNS.

    #shopt -s checkwinsize



    # enable color support of ls and also add handy aliases

    if [ "$TERM" != "dumb" ]; then

        eval `dircolors -b`

        alias ls='ls --color=auto'

        #alias dir='ls --color=auto --format=vertical'

        #alias vdir='ls --color=auto --format=long'

    fi



    # some more ls aliases

    #alias ll='ls -l'

    #alias la='ls -A'

    #alias l='ls -CF'



    # set a fancy prompt

    PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '



    # If this is an xterm set the title to user@host:dir

    case $TERM in

    xterm*)

        PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"'

        ;;

    *)

        ;;

    esac



    # enable programmable completion features (you don't need to enable

    # this, if it's already enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc).

    #if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then

    #  . /etc/bash_completion

    #fi

fi

>$ cat /etc/skel/.bash_profile

# ~/.bash_profile: executed by bash(1) for login shells.

# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.

# the files are located in the bash-doc package.



# the default umask is set in /etc/login.defs

#umask 022



# the rest of this file is commented out.



# include .bashrc if it exists



#if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then

#    source ~/.bashrc

#fi



# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists

#if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then

#    PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"

#fi



# do the same with MANPATH

#if [ -d ~/man ]; then

#    MANPATH=~/man:"${MANPATH}"

#    export MANPATH

#fi

You need to uncomment the if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then ...... lines in the .bash_profile in order for it to work properly and logout and back in or if you do not want to logout after having uncommented from a console window source /home/user_name/.bashrc.
