Hello everyone,

I just installed a minimal OpenSUSE 15.3 via Autoyast without recommended packages. I found in bash shell, the command outputs are not colored. And there are not some alias, like “alias ll=‘ls -l’”.

May I ask which package in OpenSUSE offers these features to enhance the bash shell? Thank you. :slight_smile:

Below is part of my autoinst.xml file.

ls aliases for bash are defined in /etc/profile.d/ls.bash which is part of aaa_base-extras.

Color schemes for terminal windows are selected and configured under preferences or settings options depending upon which terminal emulator you are using. The desktop you have installed was not indicated. Each desktop has its own terminal app.

There are many bash terminal enhancers available to change color schemes or add enhanced informtion, e.g., htop. You have to look them up on internet search but many are available in yast software. You can also program your own color schemes for prompts, etc in ~/.bashrc for a user.

Yes! it is package “aaa_base-extras”.
Now the alias like “ll” comes back, and outputting with colors. Like folder is in blue, executable file is in green.

Thank you rotfl!

I don’t think he’s using a desktop or terminal emulators, but that he’s actually using the terminal interface itself. He said he’s using a minimal install, which I would understand to be a plain, lightweight installation, without any graphical guff, such as a Desktop.
