My ubuntu terminal is opening as "gdhobe@vfroot-Thinkpad-T440:~$" I want to open it as "vfroot-Thinkpad-T440:~$"

Question

Usually terminal opens as vfroot-Thinkpad-T440:~$

How this issue could be solved.

\u in PS1 is the username, so set a PS1 without it, or edit your current PS1 to remove it. — muru, Nov 02 '17 at 05:34

In terminal do:

printf '\nPS1="\h:\w$"\n' >> ~/.bashrc

then

source ~/.bashrc

and it's done. Note that this solution is very simple one - this doesn't include colorizing the prompt.
