I use putty and ssh to connect to my Linux servers. I have a Linux Mint 19.3 server running with encrypted home directory. When I connect using putty and ssh, I decrypt the home directory. But the putty terminal is not showing any colors to provide a better readability of the terminal commands and responses. If I use a second putty terminal and connect open a second ssh connection to the same server. I do not need to decrypt home directory again but in this console the colors are correctly displayed in the putty console.
When connecting to e.g. a raspbian server (without encrypted home directory) putty is always displaying the colors.
What do I need to adjust on the Linux Mint server so that the colors are used in the putty terminal?
. ~/.profile
and/or. ~/.bashrc
)?. ~/.profile
after decrypting the home folder, the colors are back.
