Trying to introduce a cousin of mine to use the shell to work with git and latex on some school documents, I found it really hard to make him grasp the shell concepts easily. This was partly because of colors are not enabled by default. He just had problems finding out where he was after a command completed. Colored prompts make the shell much more easy to read.
If there are really people like Matthias Klose in #11, then they are power users that know how to fix things. Colors should be on by default to support normal users. -- Bash prompt string looks for xterm-color, gnome terminal identifies as xterm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103929 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
