HI,I am Avik..I am using Fedora-19 Gnome..recently fedora terminal encountered a problem it is showing " bash-4.2# " instead of " [user@localhost user]$ " all commands are working fine .. all system is ok.. but don't know why this is showing. Please help..
Thank you,for your kind help,i had managed by copying bashrc and all other bash files to my home directory from root.. and all things are fine now...
thanks once again...
In this case the most probable reason for the problem was missing /etc/bashrc initialization ("Source global definitions") in user's ~/.bashrc (due to manual edits). The ~/.bashrc file is by default created with the contents of /etc/skel/.bashrc - see "skel" description in man useradd, and copying root's /root/.bashrc to ~/.bashrc restored sourcing of /etc/bashrc which sets the PS1 variable
Hi: Edit your .bash_profile and put a line
export PS1="[\u@\h \W]\$ "
And make sure that you /etc/passwd looks something like
casep:x:1000:1000:Carlos "casep" Sepulveda:/home/casep:/bin/bash
Kind regards
Avik may be running as root - we need to exclude that possibility first
It is very simple. You have to do these followings.
1.First open your terminal and type;
vi ~/.bashrc
Then you get the vi editor. In vi editor type;
export PS1="[\u@\h \W]\$"
export PS2=">"
Then you have to save this using; :wq
Then type;
~/.bashrc
You can enjoy now!!!!
