You have to set your PS1 in your ~/.bashrc such that there are no colour
escapes.  This is what I do:


if [[ $TERM = dumb || $TERM = vt100 ]]; then
    export PS1="${PROMPT}${JOBS} \W> "
else
    export PS1="${PROMPT}${BOLD}${PINK}${JOBS}${YELLOW} \W> ${CLEAR}"
fi


where, the variables PROMPT, BOLD, PINK, etc are defined earlier.  You
could also change the default PS1 by editing /etc/bashrc.

Hope this helps,
