Weird symbols in prompt when color_prompt enabled in ~/.bashrc with byobu

[Ihor Romanyshyn]

Hi guys!

I got the same problem on my multiple Ubuntu Server 20.04 machines. I'm using byobu on my machines. When I log in with ssh on the machine it gives me the prompt looking like `^[[?1;0cusername@servername:~$ 1;0c`. I tried to disable the next lines in ~/.bashrc file:

```
if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
else
    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '
fi
unset color_prompt force_color_prompt
```

I'm using Windows Terminal.

And the problem didn't appear then.

But how to fix that problem?

Byobu has a special PS1 that is appended in ~/.bashrc
It will include ~/.byobu/prompt which (by default) points to /usr/share/byobu/profiles/bashrc

You can either edit those or run "byobu-disable-prompt" which should drop the include from your ~/.bashrc

That should make it "non special"

But I'm by no means a byobu expert, so if that doesn't help let me know.

FYI see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man1/byobu-prompt.1.html

Sorry, guys. It looks like a bug in the M$ ssh application. I can reproduce it only on Windows OS.
