Hi,

I have an F12 system that when I login it does not set PS1. I did a little
troubleshooting and I found that the PROMPT_COMMAND variable is indeed getting
set correctly by the login scripts but for some reason, the prompt does not get
set properly.

If I do ". $PROMPT_COMMAND" after I login, PS1 gets set correctly. Does anyone
have any ideas what I need to do to get this to work? I have not found anything
useful in Google.

The bash man page says this is supposed to work just like it has for as long as
I can remember. I use konsole on a gnome desktop if it matters.

Regards,
