PROMPT_COMMAND print

[beta992]

bash: PROMPT_COMMAND: line 8: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
bash: PROMPT_COMMAND: line 8: `dbus-send --type=method_call --session --dest=net.launchpad.pantheon-terminal /net/launchpad/pantheon_terminal org.pantheon.terminal.ProcessFinished string:$PANTHEON_TERMINAL_ID string:"$(history 1 | cut -c 8-)"; ; printf "\***" "${USER}" "${HOSTNAME%%.*}" "${PWD/#$HOME/\~}"'

Get's printed all the time on a new line.

Thanks. :)

same error

I managed to solve this by adding the following line to ~/.bashrc at the end

export PROMPT_COMMAND="dbus-send --type=method_call --session --dest=net.launchpad.pantheon-terminal /net/launchpad/pantheon_terminal org.pantheon.terminal.ProcessFinished string:$PANTHEON_TERMINAL_ID string:"$(history 1 | cut -c 8-)" >/dev/null 2>&1;"

It's kind of an ugly hack, and this seems to be caused by pantheon assigning a string to the PROMPT_COMMAND beyond the actual boundary of what we want it to, so we get an extra " ; printf "\***" "${USER}" "${HOSTNAME%%.*}" "${PWD/#$HOME/\~}"'" that should not be there.

This issue is the same as my niece's laptop running freya 64 downloaded and installed Early August 2016.
