I have my custom PS1 on my virtual machine ( Vagrant / ubuntu-13.10 ), which works perfectly when I ssh to the machine.

But when I run GNU-Screen to have multiple screens I loose that, which is normal (as ~/.bash_profile is not being called at Screen's start-up).

But interesting enough there is no $(__git_ps1) available. When I execute: 

echo $(__git_ps1)

It takes a while (30-40 seconds) and even when I force exit it with ctrl+c I get the following:

 tail: : invalid number of lines

But it would eventually print out (master) on a blank screen.

So I though it might be an issue with git-prompt, but even if I run: 

source /etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt

which runs successfully, it is still the same case and if I run echo $(__git_ps1) it would take 30 seconds before it prints (master).

Any ideas what could have possibly be going wrong?

Thanks,

Majid

  • Have you tried running __git_ps1 on its own with no $()? It could be it's waiting for some input or something which you can't tell because of the $() subshell – IMSoP May 08 '14 at 21:33
  • It's exactly the same case for `__git_ps1`. It takes a while and then prints out the following on a blank screen: tail: : invalid number of lines (master)vagrant@vagrant:/vagrant$ – Majid May 09 '14 at 15:55
