crosh shell missing localhost about crouton HOT 2 OPEN

Can you please provide what message appears when you attempt to install Crouton, and also what command you're using? The hostname being frostflow-rev3, while strange, shouldn't exactly be the problem.

from crouton.

@Joyful108,

No worries, it's just the PS1 prompt that has changed recently, if you run hostname you'll find that it is still 'localhost'.

The new PS1 prompt is set using the script: /etc/bash/bashrc.d/01-prompt.sh, the actual routine is shown below:

if [[ ! -f /run/dont-modify-ps1-for-testing ]]; then
  PS1="$(
    hostname="$(cat /run/chromeos-config/v1/name 2>/dev/null || hostname)"
    board_id="$(crossystem board_id 2>/dev/null || true)"

    if [[ -n "${board_id}" ]]; then
      hostname+="-rev${board_id}"
    fi

    echo "${PS1//\\h/${hostname}}"
  )"
fi

If you don't like it you could just run this command as root :

• touch /run/dont-modify-ps1-for-testing

Note: on version M117+ they removed the sudo command in the crosh shell so you may have to run that command as root from VT-2.
