Bash colours different btween Debian 8 and 9

Can anyone explain to me why these looks different ... they are the same script:

Debian 8 Jessie:

Debian 9 Stretch:

Different terminals? Different terminal configs? Different ~/.Xresources?

Sector11 · 2017-07-31 02:13:56

Debian 8 and 9

Terminator; both use copies of the same config at: ~/.config/terminator/config

Both use copies of the same ~/.Xresources file.

In fact D8 ~/ was copied to D9 ~/ so everything in there is the same.

johnraff · 2017-07-31 02:18:24

On a different terminal, are the colours the same?

Sector11 · 2017-07-31 02:57:33

OK I installed xterm and lxterminal in both systems:

Debian8
terminator - xterm
lxterminal

Debian9
terminator lxterminal
xterm

Looks like xterm is good on both, lxterminal has a weird yellow, but terminator in D9 sucks.

damo · 2017-07-31 03:15:54

^ Are you using the same terminator config as before? Maybe check the settings in Preferences -> Profiles -> Colours

Sector11 · 2017-07-31 03:31:11

Debian 8 is my daily run ... I copied ~/ to Debian 9 - so all config files in $HOME are the same.

xterm is the same in both - installed just now - and reflects the terminator colours in D8

lxterminal, also installed just now in both systems - is the same in both - but yellow seems to be a rusty brown.

Head_on_a_Stick · 2017-07-31 06:33:26

xterm ftw!

The other programs have changed their configuration file syntax, probably.

Try recreating the colour scheme from scratch in Terminator.

Or switch to a better terminal emulator... ]:D

Sector11 · 2017-07-31 16:33:12

But can rxvt-unicode-256color or xterm do this:

Sorry, but I love my terminator.
And the colours are from tput.
To-wit:

Text Color

Most terminals support 8 foreground text colors and 8 background colors
(though some support as many as 256). Using the setaf and setab capabilities,
we can set the foreground and background colors. The exact rendering of colors
is a little hard to predict. Many desktop managers impose "system colors" on
terminal windows, thereby modifying foreground and background colors from the
standard. Despite this, here are what the colors should be:
Value 	Color
0 	Black
1 	Red
2 	Green
3 	Yellow
4 	Blue
5 	Magenta
6 	Cyan
7 	White
8 	Not used
9 	Reset to default color

So if Debian 9 is forcing "system colours" on terminator, why not the others?
And where do I find these system colours?

Getting closer.....

Perhaps because those values are being overridden by ~/.Xresources (which sets the colours for xterm/urxvt).

Post #3 says:

and post #7 says:

Debian 8 is my daily run ... I copied ~/ to Debian 9 - so all config files in $HOME are the same.

Therefore ~/Xresources as well as all ~/.config files are the same.

HUH??? Scrot shows xterm, and link is for tmux ... so is this:
1. rxvt-unicode-256color
2. xterm, or
3. tmux

You have my full attention. Do any all three do (semi-)transparency?

New thread maybe? Or continue here.

Urxvt is already configured for true transparency in BunsenLabs, just install & run to enjoy the awesomeness.

EDIT: this is my ~/.profile (~/.bash_profile for you, I suppose) snippet to start tmux automatically if it's not running and attach any opened shell (including the TTY) to the first available tmux client window:

if [ -z "$TMUX" ]; then
	ID="$(tmux ls 2>/dev/null | awk -F':' '!/attached/{print $1}' | sed q)"
	if [ -z "$ID" ]; then
		tmux new-session
	else
		tmux attach-session -t "$ID"
	fi
fi

This allows me to close terminal windows but still have the programs inside them running next time I open one again.

So xterm and tmux to do what terminator does but without the right click menu.

OK, just noticed another difference, terminator in D9 is showing the desktop, but in D8 it shows the programs under it ... that has to be a config setting somewhere in /rootlandia ( maybe as well as for colours - ie: system colours).

BTW: I have a ~/.bash_profile and a ~/.profile

...and using about a third the RAM and fewer processor cycles

The code base is also considerably smaller and thus more secure and less buggy (urxvt>xterm in this respect, st is probably the smallest but requires re-compiling to change the setup).

I have a ~/.bash_profile and a ~/.profile

If you are using bash then it will completely ignore ~/.profile if ~/.bash_profile exists.

A more portable configuration would be to delete ~/.bash_profile and add the contents to ~/.profile, that file would then be read by any (login) shell.

st? Is that a part of suckless tools? I have s-tools but no st.

Also it's not helping as to why the colours are different - we're getting off track (althought I'm likeing where this is going as well)

It has no scrollback buffer (you need to use a terminal multiplexer like screen or tmux to get that back) and no fallback font configuration -> mixed scripts like Latin+Japanese cannot be fine tuned and just looks ugly.

It's a neat tool but has strong preferences and won't fit all use cases, and you configure it mostly at build time so you have to maintain it yourself, and possibly patch for more functionality.

It's not what I'd use (urxvt since 2010).

Not much point having a precompiled package though (unless you like the default configuration).

why the colours are different

Please explain your "tput" configuration further — is that snippet you posted from your Terminator configuration file?

Have you tried removing this mysterious tput nonsense?

It sounds confusing to me... 8o

I don't believe it. I'm using something you don't know about. {shock}

tput rev;   echo "This text has the reverse attribute";   tput sgr0
