Lightbulb terminal config


Hi there!

In normal console font olor is green, but when I login to another tty pressing
ALT+F2, so the font color is white. Here is line from mine /etc/rc.d /rc.local:
setterm -store -foreground green
What should I add ot that line so that green color will appear on all tty's?

thnx in advance!

Not exactly what you are looking for , but it could be useful: I made a script /etc/profile.d/shell.sh in which i put:
#!/bin/bash
# Start - bash prompt colours
# Folloing lines define coloured bash prompts
# Green () for normal users Red () for root
COLOR1="\[\033[0;36m\]"
COLOR2="\[\033[0;32m\]"
COLOR3="\[\033[0;36m\]"
COLOR4="\[\033[1;37m\]"
if

[ "$UID" = "0" ];
then
# I am root
COLOR2="\[\033[1;31m\]"
fi
PS1="$COLOR2--($COLOR3\d, \t$COLOR2)--$COLOR2($COLOR3\u@\H$COLOR2:$COLOR1\w$COLO
R2)$COLOR1\\$ $COLOR4"
# End - bash prompt colours

to color the prompt, both in console and in X. If you want try it.
Hope that helps

It will make green and blue prompt on all tty's and Eterm, xterms, etc.. everywhere where Bash is running, and in case you are root, the prompthwill be RED to let you know you are ROOT. I think muhri.net has some more explantions on this, in the tips section. So the font color will not be green, but the prompt will look like this:
--(Sun Sep 8, 14:42:57)--(nskl@SlackBox:~)$ and all letters will be blue, while the brackets will be green.
Also you might want to take a look at BASH customization howto, and PS1 and PS2 environment variables. Hope that helps
