Hi list,
I was playing around with the Terminal Profile and screwed it, how do I get the default profile?

Thanks in advance
Robert

Are you referring to gnome-terminal?

Edit--Current Profile

Profile name: Default


:~$ ls $HOME/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles
Default %gconf.xml
:~$ rm $HOME/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/%gconf.xml

Restart gnome-terminal--it should load the original profile--or reboot. Unless
you do any changes to profile %gconf.xml won't be created.

Some settings may be left behind:


gedit $HOME/.gconf/desktop/gnome/applications/terminal/%gconf.xml

I removed %gconf.xml and rebooted the system still getting same gnome-terminal, it created an emtpy %gconf.xml file after reboot.

Goto Edit->Profiles press New and create a profile. The new profile has default settings. You may remove the default profile and use the new one.
