Hey guys, I'm currently having trouble with urxvt and my .bashrc.
I used to use Xfce terminal without any issues alongside my .bashrc which contains aliases and a custom PS1 prompt. I've now switched to urxvt but it doesn't seem to be picking up my PS1 prompt from .bashrc, it works if I use the PS1 command in the urxvt terminal, but upon exiting and loading up a new urxvt session, it's back to the default prompt.
It's probably a pretty basic issue to solve but I'm having no luck and a search hasn't brought up anything useful.
Thanks in advance.

You might try adding
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources &to your ~/.xinitrc if it's not there already.

Thanks, I've fixed it. There was a few conditionals that set the PS1 variable (using the .bashrc from Gentoo I think, was on the wiki), I've just removed that and it seems to be fine.
