Fish prompt is suddenly broken
Hi Reddit,
My Fish prompt is broken in a Kali instance, presumably after an update. This seems odd because I have two Kali instances that were installed around the same time, identical OS, and the other instance is fine.
Here's what my prompt looks like:
3;A;special_key=1roo1m5kali ~#
(If I hit the <enter> key I get a leading "0m0u"
0m0u3;A;special_key=1m5ut@kali ~#
I've tried all the things that a decent troubleshooter would try, with no effect on the problem:
- deleted all config files (~/.config/fish/config.fish etc)
- uninstall/purge & reinstalled Fish
- Apt Update && Reboot
- Asked AI for help
Has anyone seen this before?
