user's prompt changed to '$' from user's name
Asked by
Glen Devendorf
recently one of the user's prompt has changed from username@hostname-$ to only '$' in ubuntu 12.04. this occurred after permissions for same user was somehow changed in ls -al from username to 1001 and was unable to boot using user's name. I subsequently ran these commands: sudo chown -R administrator:
Afterwards I was able to login with the user's name but the terminal prompt for that user has changed to '$'. There are 2 other users and there is no problem with those. All help appreciated.
