Description of problem: In both gnome-terminal and guake, my bash prompt has disappeared. The shell otherwise still works. On a real tty, the problem does not occur. I can export PROMPT='#' but that makes no difference. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vte 0.28.2 might be the culprit? How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open gnome-terminal 2. Observe a blinking cursor but no prompt 3. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Is your font corrupt? It happens on all distros on some HW from times to times (usually on some old Radeon).

Well my video card is a Radeon HD3470, but there is no problem on MGA3 which is installed on the machine as well. The font in the shell (if that's what you mean) looks perfectly normal. However there is a different display problem that I reported as bug 11267.
I can reproduce this. It is not related to vte or gnome-terminal but also happens in xterm. In a tty, $PS1 is set but in an xterm it is not. So maybe it is something in initscripts or /etc/profile.d/ that has changed in the last few days.

I have also noticed that bash-completion is working fine in a tty but not in an xterm.
Cannot reproduce this any more on my new machine, the laptop that showed this problem has died.
Is there presently anyone who can still reproduce it? Else it should be closed.
Nope.
