Indeed it could be crucial to know if PROMPT_COMMAND was ever present in /etc/skel. I think it's fair game if users who have once touched their configs will need to touch that again.
And it's not that they'll live with something fundamentally broken until then - it's one convenience feature that won't work, and they'll be able to quickly look up the answer on the net. Okay I didn't *really* mean to patch bash/zsh, but it's something to think about for a while, for fun. OSC stands for operating system command, this is the escape sequence \e]. OSC 0 is used to change the terminal's title, OSC 7 is used to change its notion about the current working directory, as you can see in vte.sh. -- 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 >= 3.7 requires sourcing of vte.sh login script Status in GNOME Terminal: New Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: Triaged 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.
