I configured my terminal to run "bluetooth off" at start up and exit terminal after the command. Now the terminal opens, runs the command and closes instantly rendering me unable to run any more commands.

I have tried reinstalling the terminal application but the settings still remain the same. How can I restore the default terminal setting?

  • And how did you configure it ? Where did you place the command(s) ? – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Apr 20 '16 at 13:37
  • I changed the preferences for the terminal. :) – Rokin Apr 20 '16 at 13:39
  • Ok, so it's in terminal settings, not .bashrc or .profile file, gotcha. – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Apr 20 '16 at 13:40

There's a couple of ways to reset gnome-terminal. One has been suggested in the comments already : remove or move the $HOME/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/ folder. Second approach would be to open Unity dash , search for xterm (which is a standard terminal emulator on almost any Linux) and run form there gnome-terminal -e bash which will open the shell instead of whatever command you specified. From there you should be able to reset the preferences.
