I'm not on bullseye yet, but buster's /etc/skel/.bashrc contains: # uncomment for a colored prompt, if the terminal has the capability; turned # off by default to not distract the user: the focus in a terminal window # should be on the output of commands, not on the prompt #force_color_prompt=yes Have you tried removing the last # ? (I use my own customisations for distinct colours on each host, and inverse colours for root's prompt.) Cheers, David.
