no prompt shown in terminal, same true for gnome-terminal.

searched google & advice was to replace .bashrc with vanilla copy from etc/skel.

did this & rebooted & problem still occurs.

.bashrc :

[code] #

~/.bashrc

#

If not running interactively, don't do anything

[[ $- != i ]] && return

alias ls='ls --color=auto' PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '

[/code]

.bash_profile :

[code]

#

~/.bash_profile

#

[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc

[/code]

edit: oddly, this is only happening in the i3 desktop manager.

in xfce session, this problem does not occur.
