I’ve just solved this myself. It was just some color escapes in the PS1 command prompt: LTGREEN=”\033[40;1;32m” LTBLUE=”\033[40;1;34m” CLEAR=”\033[0m” LIGHT_GRAY=”\033[40;1;33m” export PS1=”$LTGREEN\u$LTBLUE@\h:$LIGHT_GRAY\w$CLEAR ❯ ” The issue is that the color literals are not enclosed in brackets. Placing escaped brackets around them fixes the issue entirely: LTGREEN=”\[\033[40;1;32m\]” LTBLUE=”\[\033[40;1;34m\]” CLEAR=”\[\033[0m\]” LIGHT_GRAY=”\[\033[40;1;33m\]” export PS1=”$LTGREEN\u$LTBLUE@\h:$LIGHT_GRAY\w$CLEAR ❯ ” Hope this … Read more

NOTE that the %N is not supported on all … Read more

This happens because you may have done a sudo su user_name and then fired the screen command. There are 2 ways to fix this. Login directly to “user_name” via ssh. Take ownership of the shell by typing script /dev/null as the user user_name and then type screen
