since i installed redhat 7.3, the shell i used (i think it is bash) had this
appearence: [matteo@localhost] $
and it showed colored results if i gave a ls command.
now the appearence is just: $
how can i re-configure the shell in the old way?
tell me if i have to write here the output of some commands.
thanx

put
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
PS1='[\u@\h]\$'
in your ~/.bashrc

man bash for more info

i noticed that when i launch the shell from the icon on the dock, the
appearence is just like this: $
but if i launch "bash" from the prompt, it returns with the old appearence
[user@localhost] $
it seems that it no longer launches the bash prompt: shold i modify the
string from the box command in the preferences of the icon? now it reads
"konsole %i %m"
