Public bug reported: When using "\H" in the PS1 prompt value bash is not displaying the FQDN but instead only the short form hostname. This is the same as "\h".
Issue has also been noted at http://serverfault.com/questions/296970/bash-prompt-on-ubuntu-fqdn-h-same-as-hostname-h https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+question/200900 This appears related to /etc/hostname only having the host and not the FQDN. Bash should obtain the \H value from somewhere other than /etc/hostname. ** Affects: bash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: shell -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1276796 Title: bash fails to provide FQDN for PS1 with \H To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/1276796/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
