I think it may be your PS1 variable that is broken. That is here for me at least: /etc/bash/bashrc I think it can be in other places as well. If you recall changing the setting, it should look something like this: PS1+='\[\033[01;31m\]\u@\h \[\033[01;34m\]\w \$ \[\033[00m\]' It may be that you are missing the ' on the end or some other character is missing. If you copy mine, it will look like this: root@fireball / # Either way, you likely just have something missing or out of place and it is throwing it off. Maybe this will help you fix it, maybe.
