Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

What's your most favourite PS1? I have got

PS1="\e[1;32m\u@\H\e[0m:\e[1;34m\w\e[0m\$ "

In .bashrc which is equivalent to user@host:[output similar to pwd]$ .

PS1="\[\e[1;3$((RANDOM%7))m\][\w]>\[\e[0m\]"

Changes color (almost) every time terminal is launched.

Okay. Enlighten the less-well-informed amongst us, if you would?

What is a "PS1"? I always thought it referred to the Sony Playstation One.....

Mike.

@mikewalsh Look at your /root/.bashrc and you will see something like :

. /etc/profile

#v1.0.5 need to override TERM setting in /etc/profile...
#export TERM=xterm
# ...v2.13 removed.

#export HISTFILESIZE=2000
#export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups
#...v2.13 removed.
PS1="\[\e]2;\w\a\e[32m\]$USER\\$ \[\e[0m\]"

# enable Pkg 1.9.22 TAB completion
export PKG_TAB_COMPLETION=true
. /etc/bash_completion.d/pkg 2>/dev/null

Notice the line with PS1=, this will determine how the prompt in a terminal/console will look.

To make the color brighter replace the 0; with 1; like ->

These are some more codes ->

• \u: Display the current username

• \h: Display the hostname

• \W: Print the base of current working directory

• \$: Display # (indicates root user) if the effective UID is 0, otherwise display a $

I've kept in the subject (.bashrc related) so that confusion doesn't happens, but it still does.

PS1="\[\e]2;\w\a\]# "
shows the current working directory as window title

@rockedge :-

'Kayyyy.....

Except that jrb's 'lite' spin on Barry's old Quirky64 April 7.0.1 - where I've been all day - doesn't actually HAVE this "PS1" line. Which explains why I couldn't work out what you were on about.

EDIT:- Hm. I see Bionicpup64 has this:-

PS1="\[\e]2;\w\a\e[34m\]$USER\\$ \[\e[0m\]"

So why not Quirky64...? Curious. Does this normally exist in every .bashrc?

(Remembering, of course, that the 'Quirkies' were BK's original 'test series' after stepping down, where he was trying out all kinds of weird & wonderful ideas. Including moving stuff to novel locations, or altering the way things actually functioned...)

(*shrug*)

Mike.

@mikewalsh Go on and add it in! Should do the trick in Quirky as well

PS1="\`if [ \$? = 0 ]; then echo \[\e[0m\]0\[\e[0m\]; else echo \[\e[0m\]1\[\e[0m\]; fi\` \w # "

shows present working directory and either 0 or 1 to indicate exit status of a command

Just spit on these all sorts of bash and forget about them Launch the DuckStation emulator, which perfectly emulates PSX-PS1.
My most favorite PS1 is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Parasite Eve is in second place

You can have a play here:

...and save the settings if you're happy.

Added @Grey line and his Fossa ascii file. Btw Grey, Resident Evil for PS is good

You can point directly to someone's post by copying link from post headline or that small icon before "by" word.

Oftopic is getting bigger However, the previous two links are incorrect. Here it is. However, I wouldn't call it a PS1
I'm thinking how to depict a jellyfish in Ascii. I can remember the wordplay... and depict fruit jelly and fish. But somehow I don't want to

I was bored with my current PS1, so tried to copy the one that Kali uses (I suppose it does, though haven't used KaliLinux):

Here's the code:

export PS1='\e[1m\e[32m╭──(\e[34m\u@\h\e[32m)-[\e[37m\w\e[32m]
╰─\e[34m\$\e[0m '

Enjoy !

another one borrowed from KLV-HyprlandCE ->

# Bash prompt
PS1='
\e[1;35m\u\e[0;37m@\e[2;37m\h\e[0;37m: \e[0;36m\w
\e[1;34m=> \e[m'
