Yes. It's not the terminal but your shell that sets the prompt. Put this in your ~/.profile for a prompt of "user@host ":
| Code: | | export PS1="\u@\h " |
If that's not exactly the prompt you want, there are many other options. See the bash prompt howto for lots of detail and other examples. |

ok ive found the part in profile that handles this:
if [ `/usr/bin/whoami` = 'root' ]
then
# Do not set PS1 for dumb terminals
if [ "$TERM" != 'dumb' ] && [ -n "$BASH" ]
then
export PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]'
fi
export PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:${ROOTPATH}"
else
# Do not set PS1 for dumb terminals
if [ "$TERM" != 'dumb' ] && [ -n "$BASH" ]
then
export PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h \[\033[01;34m\]\W \$ \[\033[00$
fi
export PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:${PATH}"
fi
now why doesnt aterm read this?
doesnt it like the
if [ "$TERM" != 'dumb' ] && [ -n "$BASH" ] ?
is my terminal dumb

put source /etc/profile in your .profile

but i made the changes to /etc/profile i didnt change the ~/.profile
EDIT:
never mind im stupid!
ok it seems .profile is not read!
if i write in the term source /etc/profile it will work
but the thing in .profile doesnt
maybe a syntax error?
i just created a file called .profile in my root dir wrote the command and saved it

Decided to go hunting for the difference because I knew .bash_profile would work in at least one situation. So here it comes, straight from the man page for bash
| Quote: |
When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the
--login option, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that
file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and
~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists
and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit
this behavior.
When a login shell exits, bash reads and executes commands from the file ~/.bash_logout, if
it exists.
When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes com-
mands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the --norc
option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute commands from file
instead of ~/.bashrc.

this is my favourite prompt:
| Code: | | PS1='\n\[\033[33m\]\w\n\[\033[0m\]\[\033[1;32m\]\u@\h \[\033[1;34m\]$(/usr/bin/tty | /bin/sed -e '\''s:/dev/::'\'') \[\033[0m\]\[\033[0m\]' |
this should be one single line. put it in ~/.bashrc and don't forget to source it afterwards, or it will not change for your current terminal session =>
or
i put this line in every users directory and this one in root's:
| Code: | | PS1='\n\[\033[33m\]\w\n\[\033[0m\]\[\033[1;31m\]\u@\h \[\033[1;34m\]$(/usr/bin/tty | /bin/sed -e '\''s:/dev/::'\'') \[\033[0m\]\[\033[0m\]' |
user's prompt are green and root's is red - prevents stupid confusions.

How can you people live with a non-anti-aliased terminal? 
I'll take KDE just for Konsole. |

Why not use xterm? I mean, what's so special about all the other terms? xterm can use anti-aliased fonts (parameter -fa), is the defacto terminal you'll find everywhere (it's the "vi" of terminals).
Plus, you can tweak it to your heart content.
Really.
Plus, with 6.8 of Xorg's X11, you can have transparent terminals if you wish so. |
