No prompt after successful ssh login

After a successful login to my VPS the command prompt doesn't get displayed. I've ran ssh with -vvv and sshd with debug output, absolutely nothing is amiss.

The VPS is Ubuntu 11.04, the client Ubuntu 11.10, sitting behind a router. The strange thing is my laptop (also Ubuntu 11.10) behind that same router connects and gets the command prompt no problem.

/var/log/auth output is here

ssh -vvv output is here

Since the laptop gets the command prompt without issues, I'm guessing the problem is with my desktop. Can I do like a flush of everything ssh related in case I screwed something up? I've tried deleting ~/.ssh/knownhosts but that didn't do it.

Solved it. ufw was acting out. Although sudo ufw status returns "disabled", running sudo ufw disable fixed it. I haz no explanation for it, after wasting way too much time with this I'm just happy it works.
