When I activate a conda environment, username and current directory disappear in the terminal

Question

I am working remotely on my university's cluster. I have created two new conda environments: lammps-old and lammps-new. When I activate any environmet of them the username and current directory indicator disappear. Now they also disappeared in the base environment.

I have tried cutomizing the PS1 in the ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile using:

export PS1="($CONDA_DEFAULT_ENV) [$LOGNAME@$HOSTNAME($SLURM_STEP_NODELIST) $PWD]$ "

But this only solves the problem for the base environment.

I would appreciate any help.

You can set changeps1 to False by running the following command in the terminal:

conda config --set changeps1 False

or manually update .condarc.

do you know why is it happening? – Prakhar Sharma Oct 04 '22 at 07:08

The issue with setting changeps1 to false is that you won't see the currently activated environment as is the case by default. – Theom Oct 16 '22 at 19:20
