tivo prompt instead of bash prompt

[timcason7W9C]

Well, I can telnet and do most commands and I can FTP but my telnet prompt is not bash. It is tivo:/$

How can I get it to be bash. I am having problems performing some functions because I don't have a bash prompt.

I have searched but can't find a solution that works.

I am running a hughes directv with an 80gig drive. Sleeper has been run and with no errors. Like I said, I have telnet (with tivo prompt) and can ftp to tivo using linksys adapter.

Any help would be appreciated.

You have a bash prompt. Somewhere in the mass of scripts Sleeper wrote, he set it up so the prompt is Tivo, not bash. "A rose by any other name ...."

You have a bash prompt. Yup, this is true. Somewhere in the mass of scripts Sleeper wrote, he set it up so the prompt is Tivo, not bash.It's not that, really...

tivo:/$ echo $PS1
\h:\w$

That's a pretty standard default prompt...

I think only if there is no PS1 variable defined do you see "bash" in the prompt.

"tivo" just happens to be the hostname, and _that_ might be what sleeper set.

Thank you for clarifying that.
