Inside the terminal when I type resize -s 50 50
terminal output is changed as rows 50 and columns 50.
But after closing the window and reopen terminal doesn't reflect the changes.
I want to open the terminal all time as rows 50 and columns 50.
I know this can be done using terminal Edit->Profile Preference->General setting
with changing the rows and columns number, but I want to do this in CLI, because I have to do this inside a big script.

Result after pressing CtrlAltT
The default terminal size of Ubuntu is smaller than my monitor. When I install new OS I have to change many setting(customization), installation many software. So, I am making a script that do the customization and install all stuffs without my interruption. e.g.,
- change terminal window size
- make shortkey
- install firefox addons
- install software
- clone git repository.
First option
You can always run
resize -s 50 50
at terminal launch using~/.bashrc
file. And to hide the command output just redirect it to the/dev/null
device.In other words, to resize the terminal using command line use:
Second option
After messing around with
dconf-editor
I believe I found exactly what you're searching for.gnome-terminal
store its setting indconf
instead of config files. First you have to select the currently active terminal profile running this command:Then to set 50 rows as default run:
And similarly for the columns:
Done. Hope this helps
gnome-terminal
If I understand correctly, you are using standard Ubuntu and
gnome-terminal
, so you can use the following command line in your script,for example
You find the available options in
man gnome-terminal
.xterm
The corresponding command line for good old
xterm
iswhere you can add details to set the absolute position on the desktop (in pixels). Test these command lines,
and you can select other values than
0
for an arbitrary location.You find the available options in
man xterm
(there are a lot of options).It works for me when I unselected
use custom default terminal size
Add add
to
~/.bashrc
