Crashed after command line

Asked by Elliot Alderson

What to do after your type "host -I" inside the command line in preferences and then it crashes every time when you want to open it and even when you delete it and re-install it?

Is there a way to fix it?

"crash" in what sense? Showing an error message, or disappearing completely or ...?

for diagnostic purposes please provide the output of the commands

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
apt-cache policy terminator

So? any update? it did crash as expected?

Remember,
Inside the preferences, where it tells you, you can add a command line, "there" you type
host -I

Then it will shutdown (close) automatically...
And from that point on, you wont any longer use it, even if you remove it and re-install it.

Your personal settings for terminator are stored below your home directory. They are not touched when reinstalling the package.
Try editing the file ~/.config/terminator/config with a text editor and remove the whole paragraph that contains "host -l" or delete the whole ~/.config/terminator directory.

Remark: What did you expect to gain from adding that command?

I want to add at the top my public IP address. Is there any command that does it?

Can you help with this problem?
