Lxterminal vs uxterm how to#
In this article, we would discuss how to change default terminal emulator in Ubuntu distribution.Īll these above mentioned packages provide features which are similar in nature. Few of such packages are gnome-terminal, konsole, lxterminal, mate-terminal, pterm, xfce4-terminal, xterm etc. Hence, there are several packages which provide the virtual package – x-terminal-emulator.
A virtual package is just a logical term, which signifies the common features that are being offered by various other packages.
#_NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 _VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only _GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia I forgot to say, I am using nouveau, of course and right now I test gnome wayland session, which just works.ĭisclaimer: I don’t play games.X-terminal-emulator is a virtual package for the terminal emulators. (using DRI-PRIME=1 creates a parsing mess in several cases) cat /usr/local/bin/prime-run Everything runs on Intel and when an app needs more, I use prime-run. I have been using this technic for some time with prime-run, since my desktop has Intel and a 390/fermi nvidia card.
A simple script/app could change user’s default terminal setting, just symlinking in ~/.local/share/applications/ to whatever preferred terminal is chosen (from a list of installed at the time?). Then using those in all provided config-skel files (using appropriately). 
provide a script default-terminal file in /usr/bin/, with a random/distro preferred terminal (example content: alacritty provide a sktop file, installing it in /usr/share/applications/, with Exec=default-terminal). Using env var $TERMINAL is one and explained very well by. desktop idea is one more of the possible solutions. I am not sure what this refers to, but the. Possible to have *.desktop files modified to do that bashrc actually messed up my shell - for example ‘clear’ would return “unknown terminal xfce4-terminal” Setting variable TERM=xfce4-terrminal in. But I’d prefer to set this up in a standard linux way, rather than the YAD settings, unless this is the only way in EOS? should these variables/defaults be controlled in the user (home) rectory, or globally? Would be good to get a best practice on this, i.e. If I can get help with this, I can make sure I set my default applications (sometimes links from TUI apps open in firefox and not brave for example). Mod+d and selecting htop or ranger results in the application being launched in uxterm. Mod+d to open my rofi applications launcher and selecting htop, ranger or other terminal based applications should launch these applications in xfce4-terminal Current behaviour: bashrc file to “xfce4-terminal”Įcho $TERM results in “xfce4-terminal” Expected / desired behaviour: I have since set the TERM variable in my. My ~/.config/i3/config file is configured so that mod+Enter opens xfce4-terminal.Īfter default installation the result of echo $TERM was xterm-color I have tried to parse multiple arch wiki and other pages on how to set default applications with xdg-open, mimetypes, etc. This is not the same issue as “how do I set my default keybinding to open xfce4-terminal”. The default terminal when launching terminal based applications is uxterm.
