Hi, this is probably something simple but I wouldn't know where to start exactly but it goes like this. I need to change my current bash shell, which is appearing like this:

to what I am accustomed to and what it should look like which is:

I don't know why it is different other than it may have something to do with how I used the same /home directory from a previous openSUSE system, now in Fedora an it complained after the first login about there already being a user "kevin".

My bash looks fine though.

Any help would be great!

Here is something that would help

Thanks but that link is dead (returns a 404 error)

You need to set your PS1 variable. This configuration is consistent with all distributions.

You should also set it in your bash profile file, perhaps your personal settings profile file (~/.bash_profile).

Some useful escape sequences
\u – Username
\h – Hostname
\w – Full path of the current working directory
\! - The history number of the command
\@ - Current time

Apart, you can also use external commands, e.g. date
export PS1="\u@\h [\$(date +%k:%M:%S)]> "
