** Also affects: gnome-terminal via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697475 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Summary changed: - PS1 arguments required for gnome-terminal > 3.7.0 + gnome-terminal requires sourcing of vte.sh login script -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132700 Title: gnome-terminal requires sourcing of vte.sh login script Status in GNOME Terminal: Unknown Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: As of gnome-terminal 3.7.0, it is required to add the following to PS1 to get the usual behaviour where a new terminal opens with the current working directory of the terminal you activated it from. export PS1='\[$(__vte_ps1)\]'$PS1 gnome-terminal devs suggest to put this in .bashrc, however since this basically causes a regression, it would make sense to deal with it at a distro level and perhaps include it in the system bash scripts or similar. The actual change was made in libvte so this may potentially affect any application that uses that library. As a side note: __vte_ps1() is provided by /etc/profile.d/vte.sh, which is installed by libvte, however atleast on my system this script is not getting sourced at login for some reason.
