Evening, hope all is well.

I've just been playing around with the new Debian Wheezy and have decided to run with OpenBox, as i usually do. Problem. When i go to 'terminal emulator' the whole josh@debian:~$ is missing.

Now, if i josh@debain:~$ ls i see documents, programming, pictures and all my files, no problems. But for some reason i cant see my commands i type into the prompt nor the whole josh@debain, im basically typing into black space.

Also, when i say josh@debian:~$ls /etc i get the etc file with files all jumbled up over the screen.

This is the same with all the shells too, the only success i had was with lxterminal, which is working fine :S Odd.

Thanks in advance if you've got any ideas, if not, i guess ill just stick with lxterminal.

What is "the other terminal emulator" that you are using? If it is xterm for instance, set its colors through ~/.Xdefaults, e.g.
