Did you try terminal Preferences, you can do the first one in there but i dont know how to do the second one.
NOob of all noobs
If I recall correctly, you will need to edit the .bashrc file in your /home/<username> directory. Look for:
I think it said xterm-color. You will need to change it to xterm:Code:# set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we "want" color) case "$TERM" in xterm-color) color_prompt=yes;; esac
EDIT: You will need to close out the Terminal or open another Terminal session to test it out. The current session won't see the changes because it was not activated in that session.Code:# set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we "want" color) case "$TERM" in xterm) color_prompt=yes;; esac

If you want a pretty terminal in Ubuntu, then I suggest you consult this guide

Just found this thread, and thought I'd update it with the latest solution.
There's already a fancy colored prompt in your ~/.bashrc, at least as of 12.10, and I think 12.04. Look for this (for me, it's on line 43):
"force_color_prompt=yes" is commented out by default. Just uncomment it and you'll have a great-looking bash prompt, just like in Gentoo.Code:# uncomment for a colored prompt, if the terminal has the capability; turned # off by default to not distract the user: the focus in a terminal window # should be on the output of commands, not on the prompt force_color_prompt=yes
Cheers!
Old thread back to sleep.
