Change alias to same command in your ~/.bashrc (Or you can make this new profile the default in gnome-terminal after you have tested it a while) You could possible change it in gnome settings, but I have no time to look that up for you. PS: This is an Gnome issue, not OpenSolaris DS: |
Please type this in a terminal:
gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/gnome-termninal.desktop (Or however you get to root in open solaris) Scroll all the way to the bottom. Look for the line: Exec=gnome-terminal And replace it with: Exec=gnome-terminal --geometry 77x48 Save, close, and then open any gnome-terminal. It will have the new geometry. I know it works becase it just tested it myself. |
gksudo isn't implemented under Solaris as sudo isn't part of it.
You are right changing that Exec entry in the /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop file will affect terminals launched from the menu. That won't change those open from the desktop though. |

Not sure about what you suggest with right clicking.
I was referring to the terminal window launched by right clicking on the desktop and choosing the "Open Terminal" (or "Open in Terminal") menu entry. That one ignores the /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop setting. |
Have you tried that change of profile and then making that profile your new default profile?
Shold work, as looking though gconf settings for your account for gnome-terminal also should work. There is a graphical and a terminal tool for changing those. |
Can you tell where in the gnome-terminal profile you can set its geometry ? I don't find any place to do it.
|
Sigh... Look at answer #17 in this thread...
|
Precisely. I was asking about that setting that I doesn't find. Please clarify.

Regards "Open in terminal" only, the facility is provided by the open-in-terminal package and, AFAIK, there is no way to get it to do what you want. You can do what you want (and a lot more) using the nautilus-actions package. First exploration of nautilus-actions suggests it is a very flexible tool, easily allowing a superset of open-in-terminal's facilities and thus obsoleting open-in-terminal except for very basic functionality or restricted environments. Here's how to use nautilus-actions to set up a "Open root terminal here" in the same place as "Open in terminal" (I find Microsoft's wording more comprehensible than Gnome's; you don't open the directory in the terminal, you start the terminal in the directory). "Open terminal here" would be similar, without "-x su -" in the parameters. root# aptitude install nautilus-actions Applications→System→Preferences→Nautilus Actions Configuration AddThe new menu item was not visible until logging off and back on (restarting nautilus). Same for configuration adjustments.Menu item and actionLabel: Open root terminal here Anybody know if nautilus-actions can add context menu items to nautilus' Side Pane tree view folders -- and, if so, how?

:co#115:it#8:li#36:\ ( well dont pay attention to the numbers I put those there) - put 77 after "co#" and put 48 after "li#" - every terminal you open anywhere will default to this size Sorry if I did not understand or missed something in the thread...but this has always worked best for me - Edit: O wow this is an old thread...sorry for resurrecting it |

alias xterm='xterm -geometry 77x48' into your .bashrc or .cshrc or wherever is applicable for you :) |

Kind of weird that a file called xterm should affect gnome-terminal -- and not xterm!!! Nobody ever said Linux was consistent :rolleyes: Best Charles |
