Turns out I was exporting TERM=xterm-color because the case statement looks for it in the stock ~/.bashrc, to get color. I realized below that there is another PS1 outside the case statement which can be uncommented to add color. When I commented my TERM=xterm-color and got color through the color PS1 (not through the case statement),
Conclusion: changing term types caused this problem for me. The ~/.bashrc xterm-color case statement was a bit misleading for me. -- Backspace key in GNU Screen not detected correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/29787 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
