Konsole not showing colors or directories

Hello,
This is my problem, when I log in to linux ( I use slackware 8.1 with kde 3.1), on the command promt I see who I am and in which directory I am. I also see the files in diferent colors.
However if I startkde, and I go to console the prompt that I got is bash-2.05# and nothing else
When I change directory it doesn't show and all is black and whit and doesn't show my user name.
In my /etc/proflie I have this:

# Set a default shell prompt:
#PS1='`hostname`:`pwd`# '

if [ `id -un` = root ]; then
PS1='\[\033[1;31m\]\h:\w\$\[\033[0m\] ';
else
PS1='\[\033[1;33m\]\h:\w\$\[\033[0m\] ';
fi

PS2='> '


------------------------

I guess that kde somehow overrites those settings, any of you have any ideas?


This didn't happen before updating to kde3.1

Any ideas?

Thanks

The shells opened by Konsole are not "login shells"

/etc/profile and ~/.bash_profile are only read by login shells.

If you put the lines into /etc/bash.bashrc or ~/.bashrc it should work.

or you could call konsole with the -ls option:

[code:1]
konsole -ls
[/code:1]

you could change it in the menu too
