Hi,
On my laptop only when I open a gnome-terminal I'm no longer
greeted with a prompt that says: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ - it now it just says
flash ~ $.
What controls this?
I thought it was .bashrc but comparing my non-working laptop with
my 3 working desktop machines, which do say
The environment variable $PS1 controls what your prompt is, assuming

~/.bashrc, /etc/profile (controlled by something along the lines of
/etc/env.d/##bash), or even as a simple export. Try searching through
your /etc on your

Thanks for the response. I think this will help me get it straightened out.
So far I see no difference between the machines that work and the
laptop which doesn't when doing the grep -r PS1 /etc/* command.
However, when I echo $PS1 at the command line I do get different
results:
