Uncommenting force_color_prompt in .bashrc file doesn't work
Describe the issue Using a fresh instance of the Debian 10.4 (Minimal) .utm file, this is listed in the .bashrc file:
# 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
The only change to the above that I made was uncommenting force_color_prompt. After this I have tried a reboot and re-sourcing the .bashrc file. Nothing I have found has successfully enabled the color prompt. I am aware that there are other changes I could make to the .bashrc file (or other files) to get a color prompt working - but it was my understanding that all I should have to do, with a completely fresh install of Debian, is un comment the force_color_prompt=yes line. But I'm pretty new, so I could be mistaken. I wasn't exactly sure if this was an issue with me, or Debian, or UTM; but I figured I'd start here.
Configuration
- UTM Version: 3.2.4 (58)
- OS Version: 12.5
- Apple Silicon: M1 MBP
UTM is awesome! And thanks in advanced for any feedback!
Is this using the terminal front end? I don’t remember what that example .utm was configured to.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "front end", but if you mean just the regular old terminal that the image boots into in UTM, then yes.
