Ubuntu – How to reset ubuntu gnome terminal options

colorscommand linegnomegnome-terminal

I have Ubuntu gnome on my laptop and in my terminal all the text is green. However, on another computer my text is green but the bold text is a different color. I already changed the bold text on my laptop to another color but I guess the terminal is not printing bold.

How do I fix this? I don't remember changing options on the terminal where it does show bolded text so I'm thinking I can just reset my settings somewhere. How do I do this?

Two simple steps to reset gnome-terminal to defaults:

  1. Run this command from your Terminal:

    mv -v $HOME/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/ $HOME/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal_bak
    
  2. Log out and then log back in

The defaults will then be back in place. Then go to:

Edit --> Profile Preferences

and customise as you wish...
