How can I show only the current directory after the prompt in Ubuntu 10.04

Question

I have tried the suggestions here:

But adding these lines to the .bashrc file had no effect.

What did you add to the `.bashrc`? Have you started a new shell after changing `.bashrc`? What is the new prompt? — choroba, Oct 16 '12 at 10:39

Sorry - the question is already answered here

In the standard .bashrc on Ubuntu (in your home directory), look for the comment 'If this is an Xterm...' and change the PS1 value beneath.
