Re: An Embarrassing Progblem
Am 23. Jan, 2017 schwätzte S. P. Molnar so:
moin moin Stephen,
check for PS1 in ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile and ~/.profile.
grep PS1 ~/.bashrc ~/.bash_profile ~/.profile
If you don't find it that way, check to see if any of those include
another rc file.
You can set PS1 at the bottom of ~/.bashrc, but you probably want to find
out why it's getting messed up.

I'm embarrassed to admit it. but I am completely confused.
Somehow, I don't know how I managed to reset my bash user prompt. Rather than
the default user prompt '\u@h >', it has morphed to (p4env).
I have found plenty of Google results about correcting thei promled, and,
indeed export PS1='\u@\h > ' restores the prompt - that is, until I close
that terminal. The next time I open a terminal the prompt is back to
(p4env).
For my sanity, I can]t seem to figure out where and how to make the change
permanent.
As I said, I'm very embarrassed about this and really need help.
Thanks in advance,
