I recommend asking on a Debian bug instead of here since the bash packaging is mostly maintained in Debian, particularly the part you are interested in.

This only works because we added a distro patch to GNOME Terminal in 2013. VTE prefers to use /etc/bashrc.d/ but Debian and Ubuntu's bash don't support that feature currently. Workaround ========== You can add this line to your ~/.bashrc source /etc/profile.d/vte-2.91.sh This will enable this feature to work in all VTE apps: Ptyxis, GNOME Console, etc. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/2083705/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~debcrafters-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~debcrafters-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
