While setting up an old laptop with Mint for a friend, I(being a bit cheeky and smart) ticked the "Run a custom command instead of my shell", The custom command being; echo and some rather rude text. I thought this would print the rather rude text when he opened the terminal. Now when I launch the terminal the window flashes open for a second and then is gon, and it does this from every instance of the launcher. I have tried finding the profile settings for hours by greping every possible combination of strings imaginable and am now considering a reinstall, can I reset this checkbox from the command line and if so… HOW ??
relative newbi obviously.

Issuing binary characters to the terminal screen is risky, as some control sequences are interpreted as commands that change the terminal mode, and not only for colors. This is because the Linux terminal emulates the antique VT100 console (with additions). See this post for a good explanation of the problem.
To sanitize your tty use one or several of the following commands :
resetstty sanetput inittput reset
A surer way might be to use the stty command to save and reset all your setting at once:
- Use
stty -gto print the current settings in stty-readable format - Copy the resulting string
- Add to your shell init file (.bashrc or whatever) the alias (s for sane) as :
alias s='stty <output string from step 2>' - Now when confusion occurs, just type : s Enter
Why not just Add a custom action yourself and bind the keys to that?
All you would need to do is click "+Add" and then use the command roxterm to execute, once you hit Apply you can simply bind the keys.
It's not directly what you are looking for, but non-the-less a solution.
P.S. - In the future, you may want to work on your accept rate, it gives people more of an incentive to help you out.
