I use powerline-shell and my prompt looks like:



enter image description here.



How can I get rid of my name and hostname in the prompt?



I tried to search in .bashrc file for PS1 variables:



if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then

    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}[33[01;32m]u[33[00m]:[33[01;34m]w[33[00m]$ '

else

    PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}u:w$ '

fi


Which I have to edit to the goal?






customization bashrc ps1 powerline-plugin

    Since you are using powerline-shell, which claims to provide "A beautiful and useful prompt for your shell [that is] easy to customize and extend", then I would venture that the answer to your question is in the powerline-shell documentation. It almost certainly won't help to change your bash prompt, as the whole point of prompt beautifiers is that they replace the bash prompt.

    Well the sequence for hostname would be h - so for example the default Ubuntu ~/.bashrc (copied from /etc/skel/.bashrc) includes u@h in its PS1 string - yours does not appear to do the same

You need to change this in your powerline config file which is normally located under ~/.config/powerline-shell/config.json.



If you haven't one yet you can create one using the following commands:



mkdir -p ~/.config/powerline-shell

powerline-shell --generate-config > ~/.config/powerline-shell/config.json


Then simply remove the segments you dont want like username or hostname.

            Quarter-circle Tiles

            Image
            up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

            build a pushdown automaton that recognizes the reverse language of a given pushdown automaton?

            Image
            0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton? That's tricky. formal-languages automata context-free-grammar share | cite | improve this question edited Nov 29 '18 at 14:20 joee
