Well boys and girls, ladies and gents, geeks and hax0r chix, let's talk about that honestly fugly ubuntu PS1 prompt and some annoying decisions made for us that the average power user and/or system admin doesn't really need or want...
When working on several systems with several open terminal windows, wouldn't it be nice if we had a quick and easy visual cue as to whether we are logged in as root or not? I mean, sure it's a generally a bad idea to be logged in as root, but when working on system maintenance tasks nobody wants to be typing in sudo all the time, and sudo just doesn't work at all for redirection pipes.
So let's go about making the prompt a nice warning RED when we are logged in as root, and a pleasant yellow for when we are logged in as a normal user. In addition, let's set up some system-wide color options for ls so that we get a visual cue for file types without having to do ls -l or ll and then look at the flags. This saves us time and make us more productive, which is always a good thing!
before making these changes, go ahead and back up your bash.bashrc file:
sudo cp -v /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/bash.bashrc.ubuntu.orig
This is a patch file from my bash.bashrc that enables fortunes for interactive shells, colorful ls, and bash_completion. Save it to a patch file in your home directory by selecting it all with your mouse, going to a terminal and do the following:
cd ~
cat > bash.bashrc.patch
middle click on the terminal window to paste the patch text, then type ctrl+d to close the stream.
After saving it, patch your bash.bashrc by typing the following:
cd /etc
sudo patch -p0 < ~/bash.bashrc.patch
The end result should change a terminal that looks like this:
http://www.skyleach.org/images/default_bashrc.png
into this:
http://www.skyleach.org/images/colorful_bashrc.png
PLEASE NOTE: in the patch file I also enable a fortune by default. You need fortune-mod installed for this to work (otherwise you will get an error). To install it do the following:
apt-get install cookietool display-dhammapada fortune-mod fortunes fortunes-bofh-excuses fortunes-debian-hints fortunes-mario fortunes-min fortunes-off libfortune-perl
You can of course omit anything you don't think you will need (like cookietool if you aren't going to manage fortunes, libfortune-perl if you aren't a perl developer, etc...)
If you are easy to offend then omit fortunes-off (offensive) and open up the patched bash.bashrc file and change fortune -ao to fortune -a (the -o flag means offensive fortunes as well).
If you speak other languages, you can add fortunes-<linguas code> to that install string.
