[SOLVED]Color Bash Prompt help

So I have been customizing my arch box and everything has been great except for one problem; the bash color prompt. I am kind of running a color screen where I am using the same shade of green, blues, grays, etc. I would like to continue that with my bash color prompt. However it seems to use some weird numbering system for its colors that I am not familiar with. I know that there is a way to use 256 colors, but I am not sure how.
So for example I would like to have this shade of green from bash 0;32m' as this #87d75f in html notation.
Is there a way for this to be done? Thanks.

The prompt inherits colours from those specified in .Xresources https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xresources

[SOLVED] Color Bash Prompt - Arch Latest News w/o description

Hi everybody, i'm trying to get the Arch Latest News in the bash profile when terminal starts. I followed the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_at_logon and I can show the latest news without problems. What I want to do is to show only the titles and links, without description, that uses much space in the terminal. I tried to figure out what lines I should delete in the /etc/bash.bashrc file but.. you know the sintax is pretty obscure for the most of us (at least for me). I see that there is a description line.. but, really I can't manage this. How can I do this? Thanks in advance.

Here's one way of doing it:

Color Bash prompt Wiki needs editing [SOLVED]

Howdy archers
I didn't know where else or who I should contact for this....
but I found something that "may" need editing on this part of the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Color_Bash_Prompt
the part where it says * Edit root's Bash file; copy it from /etc/skel if the file is not present:
# nano /root/.bash_profile
I tried this over and over again with no luck... then I figured out that the info on the wiki was incorrect... you are not suppose
copy ".bash_profile" to /root you are suppose to copy ".bashrc" over to /root and add what you want in it... otherwise
no changes take effect
cheers

[solved]Gentoo Bash Prompt not working in X

Hi
I'm using this .bashrc from AUR:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18418
it is said to be the standard bashrc from gentoo.
It works with xterm, but I now installed urxvt (256 color) and it doesn't work any more, my prompt ist not colored any more.
I'm not familiar with bash scripting, perhaps someone could have a look.
The Problem ist not my .Xdefaults, I tried with an empty one. I also did "source .bashrc".

::SOLVED:: change bash prompt while in ssh

I'm learning how to use bash bit by bit, but came up with a question I'm not certain how to solve. I learned some time ago about setting the PS1 variable to customize the shell prompt, and have a nice prompt I like using. However, it would be nice to have the prompt be flagged if I'm logged in through ssh as opposed to directly on the computer itself. How could I do this?
One thought I had was to check to see if certain environment variables exist (eg. $SSH_CONNECTION).
Doing if [ $SSH_CONNECTION ]; then ... fi gives an error about too many arguments. None of the other SSH related variables seem to be just a number value. Is there a way to test for the existence of a variable in bash?

[Solved] Change bash prompt listing in terminal

Hi,
I've always used c-shell for ease in writing shell scripts. I'm interested in moving to bash and just using c-shell for scripting.
In a .cshrc I can do something like this:
if [ -o /bin/su ]; then
set prompt="%{\e]2\;%t - %m:%/^g\e]1\;%m^g\r%}%B:%m%b# "
else
set prompt="%{\e]2\;%t - %m:%/^g\e]1\;%m^g\r%}%B:%m%b$ "
fi
I edited the if statement for what an if statement should look like in bash. This, however, doesn't work. I'm assuming the word "prompt" is wrong. How do I get this working in bash?
EDIT: SEEMS LIKE THIS DID IT!
PS1="\u@\h:\w#
Last edited by playdafunkimuzic (2009-08-27 18:29:51)

export PS1="whatever" is the way to set the prompt in bash. not sure bout that -o are you checking for root? if so, [ $(id -u) -iq 0 ] returns true for root.

[SOLVED]Bash prompt colors different in console as opposed in terminal

Hi
EDIT: I have solved the problem by copying /etc/skel/.bash_profile to my home directory.
Today i updated the system and the bash prompt is fine in my terminal (KDE Konsole or in Xterm) but not in consoles. For normal user (blue colors) i use this settings in the $HOME/.bashrc file:
PS1='[\e[0;36m\u\e[0m@\e[0;36m\h\e[0m]─[\e[0;33m\w\e[0m]\n└─\$ '
For root (red color) /root/.bashrc:
PS1='[\e[1;31m\u\e[0m@\e[1;31m\h\e[0m]─[\e[0;33m\w\e[0m]\n└─\$ '
Now, if i login in console as a normal user it doesn't display blue color but red as if i was root user. Like i said in xterm or KDE Konsole it looks just fine. The case is that consoles don't use my .bashrc file and use instead /etc/bash.bashrc file: Here is my /etc/bash.bashrc file:
# /etc/bash.bashrc
# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[[ $- != *i* ]] && return
#PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
PS1='[\e[1;31m\u\e[0m@\e[1;31m\h\e[0m]─[\e[0;33m\w\e[0m]\n└─\$ '
PS2='> '
PS3='> '
PS4='+ '
case ${TERM} in

Bash prompt vs Zsh prompt problem [SOLVED]

I have set up my .zshrc and it works perfectly
function bat1()
echo $(( $(awk ' /remaining/ {print $3} ' /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state) * 100 / 71590 ))
# 71590 is the capacity of my #1 bat in mWh
function bat2()
echo $(( $(awk ' /remaining/ {print $3} ' /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state) * 100 / 46620 ))
# 46620 is the capacity of my #2 bat in mWh
#Right-side zsh promp :
RPROMPT=' $PR_RED$(bat1)/$(bat2)$PR_NO_COLOR'
Each time I get a new prompt(when a command finishes or I simply type <Return>) the battery info is updated.
Now let's consider bash :
Same functions, same way of working :
PS1="$(bat1)/$(bat2) >"
The problem is that bash does not automatically update the battery info. I need to source my .bashrc, which is, of course, a real pain.
Can any bash guru help me to find a solution to make bash work like zsh ?

Try
PS1="$(bat1)/$(bat2) >"

[Solved] Yaourt + bash problem?

Hello.
For couple of weeks I am occasionally seeing a strange problem.
When I use Yaourt I get some issues that I suspect might be caused by some bash configuration problem.
Here is the output:

I checked the line of code and it reads:

So obviously, the "\n" direction is not respected here. I tried to reproduce this problem in my bash prompt, but there everything seems to work as expected.

aaaa
bbbb
After upgrade to the latest Yaourt version (0.9.5.2-1) this is gone and Yaourt only promps like this:

But there is second problem:
/usr/bin/yaourt: eval: line 24: syntax error near unexpected token `required'
/usr/bin/yaourt: eval: line 24: `echo (required by $requiredbypkg)'
Which is still persistent and was not solved by version upgrade. I have feeling in the gut, that it might have the same culprit.
I also have second Archlinux box (notebook) with installation that is very similar to this one. I have cloned it, but removed some packages. Most of the system is the same. This problem is not present there and Yaourt works fine.
I know that Yaourt is not officially supported and there are other frontends, but I prefer Yaourt.
Does anyone have idea what might be the problem?
Thanks.

With regard to the sudo problem: sudo recently underwent an upgrade that featured a rewriting of its plugins, including /etc/sudoers; I noticed the same issues for a couple days. Add your user to the "wheel" group again, and it should clear things up.

Colored Bash

Hey. So right now in my .bashrc I'm using the following lines to color my bash prompt:
PS1='\[\e[1;35m\]\u\[\e[m\] \[\e[1;34m\]\W\[\e[m\] \[\e[1;31m\]> \[\e[0;37m\]'
PS2='>'
so my normal text atm is white, but I'd really love to have it just as my default system text color. The problem is if I reset it with 'tput sgr0' then I have some strange problems. any other way to reset it?

What color do you want it?

Tired of writing your own bash prompt?

I realized a few days ago that I got tired of looking up arcane bash escape sequences just to customize my bash prompt. In the open source fashion, I wrote a gui in pyGTK that will automatically make one for you, if you just pick the things you want from a menu. It's not really done yet and there's still stuff that I need to add to it, but I thought i'd see if anyone around here had any comments, or would find it useful.
Check it out: https://github.com/wisp558/promptool
It's worth noting that I only implemented 3 of the most common bash variables, but I should fix that soon. (and the bold button is broken)

Yeah, I plan to. Other things I'm looking at include a place to select the text color, (It'll use the last color in the prompt), background colors, underlined things and changing the whole textview background (I use a black urxvt, personally). I may even add a thing to save prompts or something. I might add an option to append the PS1 to one's ~/.bashrc, making the gui display the finished prompt rather than the terminal and more! I have plenty of ideas left!
As a note, the escape you posted is just the bold option I already have. There is a high intensity option in bash, which I will look into, although it does nothing in my terminal. Those are things like '\e[0;90m' and its friends.
Thanks for your feedback, guys.

hi my iphone 4 is disabled how can solve this problem? help me please

What do you mean by "disabled"? Disabled by entering the wrong passcode? If so, you'll have to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it to get it working again & remove the passcode:
Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode & restore it:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

Hi, i had the same problem. Try to find the file "apple" or "itunes" don't know it anymore exactly. Ahm well you need to delet any information or just plug in your iphone into an other computer. important is that your iphone never has been pluged in this computer before. This was what i did, and it worked!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you try to copy data to the external drive, what happens? If you don't see any error, the external drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write in it.
To be able to write on this external drive, you have to use an app like Paragon NTFS. Another solution would be to format the external drive in FAT32 or exFAT with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Make sure you copied all the files of the external disk to the internal disk before doing it
