How to set the default size of the frame of terminal in Ubuntu 8.04?
 

The frame is too small when I run terminal and have to resize it with cursor every time.

edit your ~/.bashrc file to change the defauld dimentions of the terminal.

However, it is normally set to 24 lines and 80 columns - could it be that the font you use is too small? In which case, edit the terminal profile from the terminal window Edit > Profiles

make a new profile, base it on default, and set the preferences how you want. Change the "open on new terminal" to your new profile, close the herminal and open a new one.

Or edit your shortcut/launcher to include this:

gnome-terminal --geometry=125x35

125is your width
35 is your height

Adjust till you find what you want.

It works well if I change the command to "gnome-terminal --geometry=125x35"


But I still don't know how to edit the file "~/.bashrc" to achieve that.Can you give me an example?
Thanks in advance.
