bash

I have installed and tested a lot of different distros but now my bash setting are incorrect. When I start Konsole, I see text: "bash-2.05b$"

When I su root I see text: "[root@localhost /]#"

How can I set (or reset) settings of my normal user account to look same like root.

right click on the konsole shortcut, add --ls to the konsole command

Code:

konsole --ls

this way /etc/profile gets sourced

Google for "bashprompt" and you'll find a wealth of information about making the prompt exactly how you want it

If you just want the standard "user@host current working directory$" prompt either add this to either ~/.bash_profile or /etc/profile(system wide)

Code:

export PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '

note that you still need to invoke konsole with --ls in order for these files to get sourced.
