hmm, thanks for the suggestion. $ echo $PS1 \[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w \$\[\033[00m\] -> some colored but not too fancy prompt, I assume. And I haven't changed this prompt for months or years, I assume. Additionally this is the same prompt on my desktop, so I think we can exclude this. When I read through the output of "env" ... nothing really stands out . S
