Using XFCE.
My bash prompt suddenly changed from Ion@desk to
ion@2806-102e-0011-8375-d62a-809c-7af3-18b9:
I have no idea what caused this and want to change it back and make it permanent. Any suggestions?

Post:
cat /etc/hostname
cat /etc/hosts

and execute as root:

hostnamectl

and post it.

#
# hosts         This file describes a number of hostname-to-address
#               mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem.  It is mostly
#               used at boot time, when no name servers are running.
#               On small systems, this file can be used instead of a
#               "named" name server.

# IP-Address  Full-Qualified-Hostname  Short-Hostname

Your box has no static hostname.
Set one by doing as root:

hostnamectl set-hostname here_your_hostname

Thank you. That was simpler than I expected.
