Custom Linux Terminal Header ASCII Art (figlet + lolcat)

Just try do this command: open kali, write: nano .zshrc, then under fi (last line), write figlet -f "(your txt)" | lolcat.

[@PeterJaffray]

Thanks for this. I started with Ascii arwork way back in the BBS days (aCid Productions) and now I can dust off that old stuff :)

[@rafaelmaragato2490]

aCid Productions! So cool! Hey Peter did you see "BBS The Documentary - By Jason Scott"? It has an ASCII ART content :)

[@PeterJaffray]

@@rafaelmaragato2490 Yes ... it's was a good. I can't believe how long ago it was. I was 14/15 years old drawing ansi art to trade for "warez". Maybe when we get out in space and start transmitting "light years" low bandwidth ansi art and ascii will come back :)

you can also implement toilet or the tput command with options likes -setaf and -bold then again after the ascii art with the -sgr0 option for extra coolness then copy & paste neofetch to the VERY bottom of the same bash.bashrc file and save

when I copied the directory and typed in mv figlet fonts/* figlet it resulted in figlet is not directory.

[@jeanjosiasahui1976]

Try this: sudo mv figlet-fonts/* /usr/share/figlet && rm -rf figlet-fonts Before, make sure you're in the same directory as figlet-fonts.

[@AKM_Game_Vlogger]

This is as simple fix, it happened to me: First open terminal and type 'gedit etc/apt/sources.list' If you find anything in the file delete it and copy these into it: 'deb http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free' 'deb-scr http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib none-free' Now save and exit the file open terminal and type 'sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y' I hope this helps! If you have a problem just tell me.

[@beat461]

you don't need sudo if you are already root and also you can use *apt install* instead of *apt-get install*

[@AlexLynd]

Its a tutorial and if someone isn't running root then its a catch. Also I just prefer apt-get from old habit.

[@LuisGonzalez-ux9jh]

Hi thank you for the video I came across a couple issues and was hoping anyone can help The main thing is that when ever I restart the terminal the header doesn’t appear, I have to fist enter “bash” enter so the header appears The other thing is that I have to run sudo su so that I can make the changes how ever runing sudo su makes the changes for root@kali and not kali@kali. I went to to the bash.bashrc file and checked the permission as runing the nano /etc/bash.bashrc command as kali@kali stated I have no permission. And the permissions show as read only. So I guess my two main questions are how can I make it so I don’t have to run the bash command to see the header And how can I change the permissions so that I don’t have to run sudo su to write into the bash.bashrc file Thank you for your help 🫡
