Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum so please don't hate if I posted this question on the wrong section.

Basically I was a parrot user until, well, yesterday, but after receiving the Alfa Network AWUS1900, and after 2 days trying to get it to work in monitor mode, I just decided to follow an internet post that says "Kali Linux EXTREME SUPPORT for Alfa Network AWUS1900", now it is actually true and it works.
But I decided to install Kali linux with KDE instead of Gnome, basically because I love KDE and hate Gnome, but aside from this.
The problem of KDE is that if you run under root user, Dolphin (the file manager/explorer) won't run, and I just discovered that it is because I'm using a root user, so I decided to use my standard non-root user and use sudo when necessary (like parrot, or any other linux distro).
But by doing all this stuff I ended up with one problem, the terminal or in KDE case "Konsole" is not showing root or in this case lynxes@kali-$: but only a $.
Is there any way to solve this? Looks like Konsole settings doesen't have anything helpful.

Thank's in advance.

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

Are you using Kali as a general purpose system? If so, have you read this https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ad-4175614092/? Edit: Apologies if you aren't, I misread AWUS as Asus.

Root can't use dolphin in a standard KDE setup any more, see this thread https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...s-root-791565/

'pwd' should show the curren users home directory if you haven't changed into another. either /root for root or /home/user
'whoami' will display the current user.
Also try 'bash' to see the whole user@macine prompt everytime. some shells don't display this because it takes up alot of space.

Read the link below, another post here at LQ discussing root/dolphin. It's the Dolphin developers, some Linux distributions have a patch and allow, the Debian derivatives like kali do not.

Kali is designed by default to run as root user as it is usually necessary for the functions of computer forensics. Not sure why you would want a non-root user but it should certainly be possible. I tested Kali briefly and don't use it so are you sure sudo is enabled by default on it. Many Linux systems do not use sudo by default.

With regard to your prompt: $ can you do anything from it, run commands, etc?

It seems that your device can be a problem with Linux, but people have succeeded:

There are also some very good KDE distros out there: OpenSUSE, PCLinuxOS, Kubuntu...

You can use your .bashrc file to customize the bash command prompt. If you don't have a ~/.bashrc file, you can create one.

Open ~/.bashrc and make the PS1 variable to: 'PS1=\u@\h:\w\$'. Then, save and close the file and run from the terminal . .bashrc. Thats a dot, a space, and the name of the .bashrc file. Then the bash prompt should appear more familiar.
