No command prompt from Terminal

I’m having difficulty getting the CLI prompt using terminal and via headless access using Putty. I can login (i.e. enter username and password) and the the session starts but no prompt.

I have rebooted a number of times and I have recreated the ssh file in the boot partition but no change.

I couldn’t work out how to execute the fixes suggested in these articles (not enough python knowledge) so resorted to reflashing the sd card. All works now. Thanks for your help
