Fedora :: Terminal Command Prompt Changed?
Jul 31, 2010
Ive just done a fresh install of F13, after an install of AMD Cat 10.7 screwed up my system.Although everything works, ive just noticed that when I open a terminal, instead of my username prompt, I now have "bash-4.1$".Firstly is this a problem? and if so how can I get my normal prompt back?

Something unfortunate just happened. I was editing the bash file from my terminal and changed a source. After this I was no longer able to input commands for interpreting in the terminal.

I'm running Red Hat Linux 5.4 on HP DL580 server with 16 processors and 64 GB of RAM. I'm connecting to the server remotely through SSH. after entering the password, it takes time to return the command line, if I click ctrl+c during this time, I'll have the command line prompt but not the correct bash prompt (I have to run bash to pass to my correct prompt).I tried to install Apache on the server, ./configure took 4 hours to finish instead of 1 or two minutes, Oracle installation same behavior. Server Disks are mirrored using RAID controller.

I was deleting some space off my C Drive and I believe I may of accidentally deleted Fedora, or some of it! I have a dual boot with Fedora and Windows XP so when I started my desktop up it would load into fedora by default or I could press a key to load XP! (It rhymes!) Now, however, it instantly loads up into "Grub"
And that's it! Run, Or Exit, or anything really, doesn't work! Except Reboot! So I'm a little stuck. It's an old PC and the Windows XP disc is long gone, if I ever had one! I had this thought that perhaps if I reinstall Fedora from a CD it many bring back the old command prompt and let me get back into XP again? Or, is that crazy talk??

I am working with Linux red hat project for my school projects. I am in command prompt and I see different colored letters. I have words in green and words in blue. I think the blue words are directories and the green ones are files is this true.

Ive always had luck doing any kind of updates to my system. I let it auto install the security updates lastnight. Today when I rebooted the machine it just hangs. I would like to attempt to boot only to a command prompt so that I can atleast use vi to edit files and fix the system. Do I have to edit grub to do this or is there keys I can press during boot up?

Is there an easy way (or even a hard way) to activate wireless network capability from the command prompt? I want to do this because I like to use the fvwm window manager, but I also like wireless! (In fvwm wireless networking doesn't start up automatically.)
I tried just starting the wireless by...
Code:
Despite the promising messages, wireless didn't work.

I'm running Fedora 12, and I need to disable the firewall from within a shell script, which rules out system-config-firewall. I tried the following:
Code:
service iptables stop
service ip6tables stop
chkconfig iptables off
chkconfig ip6tables off
but that didn't do it.

I was using ffmpeg and mencoder making a video of some jpgs of my grandson when something weird happened.I entered a chmod command and then all I got was ">" on the left side of the terminal.I closed the terminal and reopened it and got back to where I was at and ended up with the same thing.I can not enter exit or anything else. I just have to close it.Rebooting didn't even help it. Now I cannot enter other commands like an ffmpeg command.I was able to cd to where I wanted to go, but when I got there and tried about any command I ended up with a ">" prompt.

It appears to me that with the default .bashrc the user, computer, and working directory are shown in the title. If so, I see no need for that info in the prompt (space waster).
If this is always true, how do I change my prompt to simply "$" and the root prompt to simply "#"?

If u are usibg debaian or its derivative we can tweak out the terminal prompt. For example:
Quote:
If you are interested in tweaking. open up the .bashrc file in your home directory and add these lines
Quote:
replace this with :-) or any other thingy u can think of. 34 represents colour, in our case it is red. The result will be
Quote:
This was seen in a book i read. if u have any doubt at all please post. i'm stll thinking of how i can remove the line saying "ubuntu@ubuntu" and just have "~$" at the prompt.

When I was using Ubuntu to remove stuff left behind after uninstalling programs, like all of the dependency files, you go into your terminal and type sudo apt-get autoremove. That removes all of those files that you no longer needed, its sorta like a "Disk Cleanup" for Linux. How can I do that in Fedora? Is there a command for it in the terminal using YUM?

When I login, all I get is a terminal in the upper left-hand corner of the screen with the wallpaper in the background.
I uninstalled what I thought were random orphaned packages relating to evolution (evolution-data-common, etc..) Turns out that this uninstalls gnome-panel as well, although it didn't warn me. Reinstall gnome-panel and it will reinstall the required packages (you can still run synaptic from terminal!)

I can't open my terminal anymore. I changed a preference under the Title and Command tab in the preferences of the GNOME terminal. I put a custom command instead of the normal shell, but after I closed I realized that under the "When Command Exits" menu, I chose "Close Terminal". This means that the terminal closes automatically as soon as the command is done. After I open, it finishes the command and closes. I was wondering whether there is some way to change the terminal preferences from somewhere else or reinstall the terminal, and I obviously can't use terminal commands.

I program in C with geany and two terminals open; one to compile and one to test the compiled program. The thing is that it's hard to the eyes to keep track of the messages and such when the terminal prompt is too long:
Code:
manos@manos-desktop:/media/Iomega1TB/Documents/UNI/Datastrukturer och Algoritmer/labbar/lab1$
How can I change that to something minimal? I don't want a permanent solution as all other times I want to be aware of the current path.

I can boot up ubuntu but it's just showing the default background, the login prompt won't come up. What do I do? Startx doesn't work in the terminal (ctrl-alt F1), it gives an error. I can log in as root (recovery mode) and startx works and the desktop comes up though.

I'm sure this answer is out there but I cannot find it. I thought there was a command you could put in the terminal to find out what version of Fedora you are running and also tell which architecture (either 32 bit or 64 bit) it is. Does anyone know what that command is?

To flesh out my *nix capability, I create new identities and give them the functionality that I liked in previous ones. I've added the "open terminal here" script, which I find invaluable. Now I want to change the prompt. This is what the terminal does right now:
ITo run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.

- Where do I go to shorten the prompt dramatically? I can't really think of a situation where a shorter prompt isn't better or color matters.
- How do I adios the 2 sentences that want to appear every time I open this terminal? I'm aware what sudo does.
- Instead, I would like the equivalent of a pwd command. Where would I put that?
- How do I get the output of this terminal to be simultaneously saved in a file. I do so much copying and pasting out of these terminals that I'm looking for easier ways to do it.
