vi .bashrc:

Original:

if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
else PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '
fi

change it to ...

if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
else PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u:\w\$ '
fi

(basically remove the "@\h" twice.

Make a backup of .bashrc with

cp .bashrc .bashrc.old

before editing.
