Terminator

How to choose the default profile?

Asked by RC Lages

Hello dear developers, greetings from Brazil ...

I use the Terminator (version 0.93ppa1 from PPA repository) because it is the best solution for console terminal in GNU/Linux Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx and offers wide range of facilities and settings. But I can not configure the default profile to start the program, ie, to determine a profile different from that shown in the "[[default]] section" configuration file [1]. I read that I could use the parameters [2] (or even [3] or [4]) but it does not really work. Where am I wrong?

[1] /home/myuser/.config/terminator/config

[2] $terminator -p profile=MyProfile

[3] $terminator -p MyProfile

[4] $terminator --profile=MyProfile

Please, what can I do to solve this problem?

Congratulations by the excellent work ;)

This was an oversight in our rewrite. 0.94 supports -p again. It will be in our PPA in the next few days.

I am sorry but I installed now the version 0.94ppa1 and the parameter "-p profile=MyProfile" does not work. It also does not appear among the possible parameters in "man terminator". What is wrong? How to choose a profile to be the default?

Bingo! now I find the correct syntax: "terminator --profile=MyProfile".
But I miss this command in the terminator and/or terminator_config manuals.
Thank you.

It's not hugely easy to do from the command line, but you can make the default profile use a different command?

Can you help with this problem?
