Problem:
Uncommenting <code>force_color_prompt=yes</code> in .bashrc did not set $PS1 to colorize the prompt.

Solution:
Change <code>if [ -n "$force_colored_prompt" ]; then</code> to <code>if [ -n "$force_color_prompt" ]; then</code> in .bashrc

Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Using gnome-terminal in 8.10, the problem no longer exists.
