I last installed displex from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/displex/files/

Since then I've been having a small problem with my terminal. Each time I open my terminal while displex is running my default location is set to "/usr/share/indicator-displex$instead of~$`.

I don't have any problem running my commands but I would like to have it going to ~$ without having to do cd ~ every time.

You should check if in your shell startup files (/etc/profile, /etc/profile.d/*, /etc/bash.bashrc, ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc) there is some cd command or something weird that you can relate to displex. – enzotib May 13 '11 at 21:01
Did you do something to make DisPlex automatically run at login? If so, what? – ændrük May 14 '11 at 0:30
Thanks fior the response. I found a way out, like you said I first looked in the profile files but nothng to find. Then I tought a bit further about your answer and looked in the "/usr/bin/indicator-displex" file and found a solution. The first command in the files is "cd /usr/share/indicator-displex" I put "# " in front of that command (so it doesn't get executed) and it solved my problem. Many thanks. – 19J94V May 18 '11 at 12:56

Thanks to enzotib, who pointed me in the right direction, I was able to solve my question myself.

  1. Enter in terminal: gksu gedit /usr/bin/indicator-displex

    (You can use any text editor instead of gedit. If you choose to use a command-line editor, like vi or nano, use sudo instead of gksu.)

  2. On the third line you wil see cd /usr/share/indicator-displex, change this to:

    # cd /usr/share/indicator-displex

  3. Save the file, and you're done.
