See /etc/bashrc for how the system default prompt is set up. You probably need to set up your own prompt in ~/.bashrc rather than ~/.profile because the ~/.profile is only run for login shells and if you're using a GUI with terminal windows, your ~/.profile setting will be overridden by the setting from bashrc.
