I am trying to use autojump, but it will not autoload the directories to the autojump list as the custom prompt is not compatible.
Here is the thread on the issue from other users.
apt - Autojump in 12.04 doesn't work - Ask Ubuntu

I tried using the change and adding to my .bashrc, but it does not work.

Posting "Does not work" without explanation does not help you or anyone. If a command does not work for you, please show the exact circumstances you used it, and the exact error or malfunction you received. Do not paraphrase errors, or post the text as links, images, or attachments if you can avoid it: Paste the exact message, in code tags, like [code] text [/code] or by selecting the text and using the button.

Further, if you modified something, it'd be nice to know modified from what, to what.

Dear genehunter,

I have a few to questions pose in response first:-Most importantly, What have you tried so far?

There are probably many ways to achieve most tasks, so giving us an idea of your style and thoughts will help us guide you to an answer most suitable to you so you can adjust it to suit your needs in future.


We're all here to learn and getting the relevant information will help us all. Now, some members may get upset at links to other discussion boards ("hey wife, my mistress says this" type discussions) but I'm not overly bothered, however it would be more polite and constructive to show us this issues you are having, what you have tried and what the overall objective is for you rather than pointing us to other threads that do not do what you want, even though you don't tell us quite what you want and what symptoms you have.

Can we even assume this is an Ubuntu issue? it would be good to know OS version for a starter.

Kind regards,
Robin
