Your setting look like it is clearing the screen and when you use sudo it is not using your settings

Here is a cool thing to try with your .profile as well

#PS1=^[[35m`uname -n`':^[[31m${PWD}#'^[[33m
PS1=^[[35m`uname -n`^[[34m`whoami`':^[[36m${PWD}#'^[[33m
#PS1=^[[32m `uname -n`^[[34m`whoami`':^[[31m${PWD}#'^[[33m
alias ll='ls -larti'

I have this setup in my profile because it adds colors to my profile
The way to set this up is to do the following on your system as you can not just copy this config

In your home dir

tput smso >> .profile
tput rmso >> .profile

vi .profile

at the end of your profile you will find the control code for the tput settings

^[[7m ^[[33m

Depending on your setting this may look different

Split the 2 functions
^[[7m Now you can change this 7 to numbers (31 - 36 ) for different colors

^[[33m

Now using this change your PS1 to look like this
PS1=^[[35m`uname -n`^[[34m`whoami`':^[[36m${PWD}#'^[[33m

Cat .profile and see if you like

Cheers

fvwm-bug(1)							   Fvwm Modules 						       fvwm-bug(1)

NAME

       fvwm-bug - report a bug in fvwm

SYNOPSIS

       fvwm-bug [--help] [--version] [address]

DESCRIPTION

       fvwm-bug is a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug reports concerning fvwm in a standard format.  fvwm-bug invokes the editor
       specified by the environment variable EDITOR on a temporary copy of the bug report format outline. The user must fill  in  the  appropriate
       fields  and  exit  the  editor.	 fvwm-bug  then  mails the completed report to the local fvwm maintainer, the fvwm workers list fvwm-work-
       ers@fvwm.org, or address.  If the report cannot be mailed, it is saved in the file dead.fvwm-bug in the invoking user's home directory.

       The bug report format outline consists of several sections.  The first section provides information about the  machine,	operating  system,
       the  fvwm  version, and the compilation environment.  The second section should be filled in with a description of the bug.  The third sec-
       tion should be a description of how to reproduce the bug.  The optional fourth section is for a proposed fix.  Fixes are encouraged.

ENVIRONMENT

       fvwm-bug will utilize the following environment variables if they exist:

       EDITOR Specifies the preferred editor. If EDITOR is not set, fvwm-bug defaults to emacs.

       HOME   Directory in which the failed bug report is saved if the mail fails.
