Execute in command line:
Code:

PS1="[\u@\h:\w ] $ "
or insert it into your bashrc file.

Your .bashrc file should be in your home directory (for me it's in /home/sycamorex).
Note that it's a hidden file (the dot at the beginning of the name)

Just type:

Code:

nano ~/.bashrc
and add the suggested line. I don't know which distro you're using but you might as well try adding:

Code:

. /etc/profile
instead.

LOL. I'm blind. You can include ". /etc/profile" in your .bashrc as it'll load other variables as well.
