My guess is that you: 1) created a ~/.bash_profile and forgot to tell it to source ~/.bashrc; or 2) altered your ~/.profile in such a way that it no longer sources ~/.bashrc; or 3) somehow are no longer using bash as your shell when you launch a terminal, or when you login to a shell session. In any case, if your shell is bash, your PROFILE (which is one of the three files ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login or ~/.profile) must source or dot in ~/.bashrc. If none of these shotgun guesses match your problem, then please provide details. What version of Debian, how do you login, how do you get to an interactive shell.
