Oh, good catch. I've... never used that before. ;-) I scanned the
PROMPTING section of the man page too quickly and only saw
the \t \T \@ \A parts.
PS1='\u@\h \D{%d %b %Y %H:%M:%S} :\w\$ '

You forgot to add "\d", in PS1 value, that explains different behavior
of prompt in console and Guake.
May be, this could fix the problem
if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:
\d \t \[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\$'
else
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h: \d \t \w\$'
fi
Now, as Wooledge suggested, replace "\d \t" with "$(date +"%d %b %Y
%H:%M:%S")".

Could \D{format} not do that? Mind you, I'm surprised a prompt
needs the month and year. I would have thought the day of the
week would be more useful.
Cheers,

I am on debian-mate and the only thing I know is that I have guake turned on my startup application/terminal once I enter mate-session. In guake preferences in Shell option it comes the default interpretor as but doesn't tell of a way so I can have it the way I shared using the current date and time - shirish@debian 14 Dec 2019 00:43:04 :~$ I am just using copying and pasting the time from before . Any idea/advice would be nice. I would rather have guake be the way it is and just have the prompt as I want it. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com E493 D466 6D67 59F5 1FD0 930F 870E 9A5B 5869 609C

No idea what that is. apt-cache says it's a terminal. So I'm just going to assume that it works like any other terminal -- bash runs inside it. The prompt is displayed by bash.
