I need help with my terminal prompt.

After having attempted to mount my macosx partition, my terminal
prompt
changed to "tvawter@tvawter-pb4:~$". The "@tvawter-pb4" was
added. I
would like to get rid of this. I have looked in /etc/profile,
~/.bash
and /etc/bash.bashrc, but I am unclear on what to change. I am also
unclear on why my prompt changed at all.


Look for something that sets the variable named PS1 and, possibly,
PROMPT_COMMAND. The definition and use of these variables can be
found in the man page for your shell (probably bash). If you find the
variable, you might not even need to look at the man page. It might
be obvious what is generating the "@tvawter-pb4" part.

This is probably, "@\h". that's what it is on mine. It doesn't seem
likely that this happened as a result of mounting a drive, though.

Thanks, Vincente. Deleting "@\h" in PS1 in ~/.bashrc did the trick.
