Changing default size of gnome-terminal
Everybody who works much with consoles under Gnome will once a day ask this question: “WTF do I have to do to change the f***ing default size of my f***ing terminal?” The Solution is easy but it needs an annoying amount of time to find it
- Open the file /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm with root rights in your favourite editor.
- Change the values for ‘co’ and ‘li’ in the following line:
:co#103:it#8:li#28:\
Here it’s changed to a terminal-size of 103×28
- Restart X
Hey, thanks a lot for this quick and easy solution!!! I have spent ages on working through millions of forum entries in order to find this information!!
Perfect! Cheers
