Instead of my username and location its just write bash0.2.....
It's irritating because I can't see in which map I'm in...
Anyone who knows how to fix this???

And as you understand I'm a n00b :p

Cacco,

It looks like you didn't create your user properly.

There are some files in /etc/skel that every user should have.
They are not normally displayed by the
Code:
ls
command since their names begin with a dot.

Do
Code:
cp /etc/skel/* /home/<user>/
and all should be well at your next login. After the copy, you will need to fix the ownerships and group with the
Code:
chown <usr> <file>
and
Code:
chgrp <group> <file>
commands. File can be an "*" if you don'y mind affecting all files.

You will find
Code:
ls -a
useful.
