Ubuntu new user login but username@ does not exist

I have installed ubuntu 19 on my virtual server and connected root user. Console appears like following:

root@localhost:~# 

And I created a new user useradd -m newuser

Added newuser to sudo group.

When I login with newuser, console appears only:

$: 

But, should it be like following?

newuser@localhost:~#

did you set the shell to /bin/bash or it is currently /bin/sh ? Check /etc/passwd either via less /etc/passwd or:

grep yourusername /etc/passwd 

Or to change the User's shell do (via root):

chsh --shell /bin/bash username 

and relogin with that user.

I would like to respond to the question "why does not it automatically change when user created?"

You are using 'useradd', which works with the skeleton file /etc/default/useradd There should be a variable in there 'SHELL', which is the default shell that will be set when creating a new user with useradd.

You could also consider using the more user friendly 'adduser' instead of 'useradd'. Which uses /etc/adduser.conf as defaults.
