my terminal name is my user name@my ip address. is there a way to just make it my user name, without an ip address?

What do you mean exactly by "terminal name" ?

Could you post the contents of the file .bashrc ? In a command line, type "cat ~/.bashrc"

Hi,

Aren't you using dvd/cd live ? If yes, that's the way it is (if I remember well)

Cheers

Re: can you remove your ip from the terminal

You need to configure the variable PS1 correctly.

Look here for instance (or google a bit)
http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/tips/tipsps1.html

WARNING: if you screw up you won't be able to login. If you really want to do it, make a backup of .bashrc first. Then, edit, save, and open a new "konsole" to see if it works. Do not logout by any means until konsole opens up a shell (command line) correctly.

If in doubt, do nothing. You may render your user account unusable!

Good luck!

One more thing. You probably want something like this (or similar). But please read my previous post.
