Login terminals load ~/.bash_profile to change shell settings; non-login terminals (like xterms) load ~/.bashrc . So you probably have no ~/.bashrc file. Create ~/.bashrc and add a line like this: export PS1='[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\$ ' If you don't like that prompt, "man bash" and search for PROMPTING to see other options.
