How can I get shown myuser@myhost instead of bash-3.2$ in console?

Well, that's the question, in Konsole instead of myuser@myhost~$ appears "bash-3.2$". As a root, it appears as "root@myhost~#" as usual, but as a simple user, appears what I said. How can I solve it?

You need to set the PS1 variable... check the bash prompt howto for more information.  My prompt is:

$ grep PS1 ~/.bashrc
export PS1="\[\033[1;32m\]\u@\h:\[\033[1;36m\]\w\[\033[0m\]\$ "         # green:cyan
#export PS1="\[\033[1;34m\]\u@\h:\[\033[1;32m\]\w\[\033[0m\]\\$ "       # blue:green
