Tried installing kitty terminal multiple times , Kitty terminal doesn’t show the host or username, Any fix for it? ,
nano ~/.bashrc
Change the PS1 line to :
PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '
Save the file and source it with :
source ~/.bashrc
Run kitty with default config :
kitty -c /dev/null
Still not working, try :
kitty --debug-config

Adding this line to ~/.bashrc worked. It contained no PS1 Shell variable.
probably because of gnome-terminal
,
Also when running root (sudo) program inside Kitty terminal, It will likely to throw an error, make sure you run this command as a temporary work around for it.
export TERM=xterm
Glad to see that my solution worked for you.
Now we can ask ourselves why this PS1 line is missing in the first place.
