changing KDE Konsole prompt?

changing KDE Konsole prompt?

[Jens Knoell]

Kinda annoying... I updated to KDE 3.2, and Konsole shows "bash-2.05$" as
prompt... I'd rather have it display the regular shell prompt, but I'm at a
loss what I need to do to get that?

Thanks
Jens

Put this in your .bashrc:

This changes the bash shell prompt
# set prompt: ``username@hostname:/directory $ ''
PS1="[\u@\h:\w] "
case `id -u` in
      0) PS1="${PS1}# ";;
      *) PS1="${PS1}$ ";;
esac

The bash-shell has an expansion of "\$" which
gives you a hash for uid=0, else a $.
See man bash, grep PROMPTING.

But that´s not the console, it´s the shell ;-)
