Dear all, my linux prompt has the following problem:[john@johnPC ~], so when I change directory it also changes directory which is wrong e.g. directory: kerberos, cd kerberos--->the prompt shows [john@johnPC kerberos] , which is wrong. Also, I am using Fedora and the system has started slowing down very much and I do not know why. I have checked the processes and none use more than 0.7% of the memory (furthermore I would not like to delete a process as a root-but this is not a problem at the moment). So it stops upon opening on cups, on transmitting e-mails (I have no network connection on the laptop, it even stop for 3-4 minutes when I enter my password before opening Fedora and it even has problems opening a shell. If it is a problem of the fedora software and reinstallation is needed than this is a very serious problem for me (for many reasons among which the fact that I have a background in biology). I look forward to hearing from you, respectfully, Maria |

If you don't like Bash Prompt to display the directory delete 'w' form the variable $PS1. It will in your ~/.bashrc , ~/.bash_profile OR /etc/profile. You can type 'echo $PS1' at the bash prompt to display the variable value. For example mine shows: echo $PS1 [e]0;u@h: wa]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}u@h:w$ That answers your first trouble. |

Dear sach1n, thank you for your replies. My Fedora version is old and I would not like to change that for the moment it is Fedora 7. Why do you mention about your proxy server? what is all this with the voting? I don't really like very much voting...in such cases. Maria |
