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.

ciao,

der.hans
