Issue with Terminator RC file

Hum, this sounds like LP#272740

here for the link: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/272740 , can you confirm it?

when you say "it displays nothing", what do you mean exactly?
Perhaps it would be helpful for you to paste in the contents of ~/.config/terminator/config

it should be something like this:

titlebars = True

Yes I have "titlebars = True" as well as a few others but the file does not seem to take over. I still have no title bars. And nothing else seems to take over. Also is ther a way to add color to it? For example change the color of "user@computer" IE the part that shows your what user you are and what computer you are on.

Colour stuff is handled by bash - search for a HOWTO on setting a coloured bash prompt.

As for Terminator - could you open up a terminal of some kind and run "terminator -d", then paste all of the output into http://pastebin.com/ and let us know the resulting URL? This will hopefully reveal some useful information.

Which exact version of Terminator are you running?

Hi Beau,

I wonder what your XDG_CONFIG_HOME look lik.
Looking at 0.9, if XDG_CONFIG_HOM is set, the file will be looked for in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/config instead of
 ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/terminator/config

Can you try the following and send the output, in a terminal ( terminator :p) get an interative python shell :
$ python
and type the following:
import os
print os.environ['XDG_CONFIG_HOME']

what is the output?

cheers

here is the possible bug regarding my previous comment:

Hi there here is the ouput of the python stuff

Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 31 2008, 17:28:52)
[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> print os.environ['XDG_CONFIG_HOME']
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/UserDict.py", line 22, in __getitem__
    raise KeyError(key)
KeyError: 'XDG_CONFIG_HOME'
>>>

ok, so XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set, thus you are not hitting LP#247893.
I guess the best is to pastebin it: http://pastebin.com/

Im sorry but I dont know whatyou mean by "pastbin it"

Ok looks like it is working now I dont know what changed it but not I have title and what not.

Thanks to everyone on your help :)
