Difference between Terminals?

[alienanxiety]

Just did install of Lion on my iMac - my new Macbook Air obviously came with Lion pre-installed. In terminal however, my root directory is listed as this:

-MacBook-Air:~ Tes$

none of the standard commands seem to work. what is Tes$?

I tried Lion terminal on the iMac and it opens normally without the Tes$ at the end.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Your username is apparently Tes, and it's saying you're in the root of your user folder (~ is the equivalent of /users/Tes in your case).

That's really strange. I have no idea what Tes is. It's certainly not my user name. Really weird. That shouldn't stop commands from working though, right?

Out of curiosity what commands aren't working? My terminal work has been completely unaffected.

this, for example, does not work on the new 11' Air:

sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /etc/hosts

Edit it in Pico. And stop pirating photoshop .

Different contents structure. That's an app difference not a terminal issue.

Okay, thanks.
