The environment variable $PS1 controls what your prompt is, assuming |
| 2 |
you're using bash. This can be set in many many places, such as |
| 3 |
~/.bashrc, /etc/profile (controlled by something along the lines of |
| 4 |
/etc/env.d/##bash), or even as a simple export. Try searching through |
| 5 |
your /etc on your different machines for the PS1 setting, and copy it |
| 6 |
to the one that's missing, a good place to start is "grep -r PS1 |
| 7 |
/etc/*" |
