I recently set up a new user using "adduser username" on my server and noticed that when I login I get:
$
Also, with my new user there is no folder highlighting, or tab completion.
However when I login as root I get a full terminal prompt plus highlighting, completion etc.
root@lin01:~#
Anyone have any idea what I did wrong?
Edit: Solution was to type
chsh -s /bin/bash
While logged in with the $.
