PPv4: Why isn't .bashrc being executed

[winestock]

After I installed linux-kirkwood 3.7.5 as a clean install, I noticed that when I login to my user non-root account it appears that .bashrc is not being executed. The reason I know this is because in the .bashrc:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
#
# ~/.bashrc
#

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[[ $- != *i* ]] && return

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
')

When I login and execute "alias" it comes back with no entries. It also appears that .bash_profile is not being executed. I added the line "echo "test" >~/a.txt" at the beginng and after I login into the user account there is no a.txt file created. I even tried changing the permissions to 755 on both .bash_profile and .bashrc.

Is .bash_profile and .bashrc no longer being executed?

There's a global bashrc: /etc/bash.bashrc
