Problem with colored prompt (PS1) at rxvt-unicode -------------------------------------------------- I'm using urxvt and I haven't colored prompt. PS1 write out '\u@\h \w \$ '. I think, that /etc/bash/bashrc is sorting rxvt-unicode to non safe terminals. Problem is at line: safe_term=${TERM//[^[:alnum:]]/.} # sanitize TERM This line have deleted dot from $TERM value. So urxvt is classed to color nonsupporting, and it is problem.
