[arch-general] gnome-terminal configuration
greetings, I noticed the other day that some of the settings I configured in my ~/.bash_profile aren't implimented when using the gnome-termianl. For the most-part, it's not too big a deal; some of it just aliases system admin stuff that I do from the text consoles (tty1-6) anyhow. Just for curiousity, i poked around the wiki and the various settings areas on my computer (/etc, /usr/share and such) trying to find if the gnome-terminal had it's own set of configuration files. Does anybody know where i should look to find howto customize the start-up behavior for gnome-terminal? Also, is it normal for gnome-terminal to not read ~/.bash_profile, even if the default shell is bash? thank you:-) _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy is not the old busy.

Hi, strange thing, but on my systems all aliases etc. are working very well in gnome-terminal. I don't know about any own configuration stuff for gnome-terminal except for the font size etc. Am 08.07.2010, 16:47 Uhr, schrieb <aerospace1028@hotmail.com>:

gnome-terminal's settings are likely stored in gconf. .bash_profile is read only on a login shell. gnome-terminal, by default, creates non-login shells (I don't know how to alter this behavior). You should be setting aliases and things of that nature via .bashrc, which is sourced every time an interactive shell is started. If these terms are unfamiliar to you, I suggest reading 'man bash'. d

bash only sources ~/.bash_profile when invoked as a login shell. -- Byron Clark

Yeah, I had the same issue... But it is easy to fix: Open terminal -> 'Edit' menu -> Profile Preferences -> Title and Command tab -> Tick "Run command as a login shell" check box Cheers, Hilton

You could also set things in .profile instead? I've read before that this is the 'proper' way to put env stuff etc.

i could be wrong, as i've heavily customized these scripts, but i believe by default the only thing .bashrc does (in arch) is source .bash_aliases if it exists; so put aliases there. take a look at: /etc/profile* /etc/bash* ~/.profile ~/.bash* they contain everything you need to know. for example, you can create an /etc/bash.bashrc.local that will be sourced if it exists. i use this to add gentoo style colors and prompts, export stuff, and increase the bash_history from 1,000 to 10,000 (i hate retyping stuff :-) C Anthony

How big is .bash_history for you? =)
