pagal Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 (edited) Hey guys...sorry for another stupid question. Its not really a problem, but its just bothering me a bit :) ok, before when I used the su command in normal user or used console in root, it'd say "root@localhost] # " but now it says "bash-2.05b# ". Can anyone tell me how to fix it? I ran out of space once, so I had to use FaliSafe to free some space, that's when it started. Thanks. EDIT: Another problem is that I accidently uninstalled xmms and now that I have it re-installed, it won't play any mp3s...can anyone help?

glockfan Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 XMMS (from what i have read at Redhat's website) has removed mp3 decoding capability in its newer versions. Something about standards, etc. The bash shell problem.... i usually had that prompt when i was sitting at a prompt and typed "bash" starting a second shell. i am not sure how that relates to your scenario or if it doesn't at all. Just trying to help . Let me know if i can do anymore for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagal Posted November 10, 2002 Author Share Posted November 10, 2002 thanks man, at least you replied :) I just fixed the xmmx problem. I just had to re-install the mp3 plugin for it. About the shell problem, I get the "bash-2.05b" all the time. once again, thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

configure Veteran Posted November 10, 2002 Veteran Share Posted November 10, 2002 It's nothing big, the prompt can be edited in some config file located in your home directory. I can't remember which config and I do not have Linux laying arond here so you'll have to look around using ls -a :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagal Posted November 10, 2002 Author Share Posted November 10, 2002 (edited) thanks configure. I used ls -a and tried to edit all the files that had bash in them, but I couldn't find anything I could change...any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
configure Veteran Posted November 10, 2002 Veteran Share Posted November 10, 2002 It's really a simple problem that be fixed within a few second but the thing is the last I was on Linux was like a year and half ago.

mezz Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 You can play with the ~/.bashrc.. Let's see if I can remember, which I don't use bash for long time.. Zsh rules.. However, you should see PS1 in your ~/.bashrc, so edit it to.. PS1=" [\\u@\\h] \\# " Here's what I like.. PS1=" [\\u@\\h:\\w] \\$ " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagal Posted November 11, 2002 Author Share Posted November 11, 2002 thanks mezz :D all I had to do was to create a .bashrc file in /root. I guess I deleted by mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
