Title:
Long hostname placeholder for PS1 (\H) fails in Bash
Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When using "\H" in the PS1 prompt value bash is not displaying the
FQDN but instead only the short form hostname. This is the same as
"\h".
Issue has also been noted at
http://serverfault.com/questions/296970/bash-prompt-on-ubuntu-fqdn-h-same-as-hostname-h
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+question/200900
This appears related to /etc/hostname only having the host and not the
FQDN.
Bash should obtain the \H value from somewhere other than /etc/hostname.
