Hi,
I would like to set Terminator as the default terminal in Cinnamon instead of Gnome terminal. How can I do this? I want to cinnamon opens Terminator instead of gnome terminal when clicking on menu Open in Terminal.
edit: I tried with "sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator" and selected Terminator as default terminal but nothing (I have also restarted cinnamon).
thanks

Open terminal and enter:

Code: Select all
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec /usr/bin/terminator
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec-arg "-x"

Oh, ok ...
I didn't have to enter the "cinnamon" line:
gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec /usr/bin/terminator
I was using LM15 Cinnamon, cinnamon version 1.8.
The "gnome" lines posted above on their own worked ok (for me)
