in our organisation we have ubuntu systems in domain, due to which we are not able to get the username and hostname in the command prompt instead it just shows the "$" sign when i open the command prompt, also tab does not work for all teh commands in ubuntu.
Moreover, when i do sudo su, tab and also command prompt comes.
How to get the username@hostname and tab working in the normal user mode
Thank You in advance.

The prompt is kept in thePS1environment variable. Readman bash, especially thePROMPTINGsection - it tells you all the things you can have in your prompt.

@waltinator you assume that the default for users via Samba / domain auth is actually Bash. If you don't define the shell to be/bin/bashwithuseraddit sets it to Dash, which is just the$prompt and tab completion-less. Ifbashisn't set,/bin/shis the fallback, and that's actuallydash

@steeldriver: not sure for this ! do you have any steps to check for that? Currently i go on sudo su, the shell i am getting is /bin/bash but in non-rooted environment it is /bin/sh.

Are you sure the user configuration on the domain server has
bash as the users' login shell (rather than sh)?– steeldriver
