The username and current directory disappear in the terminal

Question

After I installed sra-tools using conda, the username and current directory disappeared in the terminal. The situation did not change after I deleted sra-tools. enter image description here

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

export PS1="($CONDA_DEFAULT_ENV) [\u@\h \W]$ "

But this only solves the problem for the base environment.When I activate a new conda environment, the username and directory disappear again.

Then I have tried to set changeps1 to False by running the following command in the terminal:

conda config --set changeps1 False

But then I would not be able to see the environment I was in, whether in the base environment or otherwise.

Thanks for any help.

You appear to be dealing with a conda 22.9.0 regression:
