Re: [Trisquel-users] how to change the text-based console colors from gray on black to red on black

[mikko . viinamaki]

You can easily change the color after login with setterm. E.g.setterm -store  
-foreground red
(perhaps put that in your ~/.bashrc)

It probably is possible to put that somewhere in the startup scripts to make  
things work as you wish from the beginning but with Upstart and whatnots it's  
getting beyond my comprehension how to do so...

Another way if that color is off isecho -en "\e]P79C0000"
These probably have pros and cons.
