Disabling Terminal Startup Script

Basic Help & Support
#1

Hello, new ArchLabs user and absolutely loving this on i3! Does anyone know how to disable the neofetch/screenfetch like script that executes when a new terminal is opened? This seems like a nice touch to Openbox, but is a little much when launching and tiling several windows within i3. Thanks in advance!

Remove the entry from your bash/zshrc called “al-info”.

Next time you start the terminal it will be gone :).

Alrighty, at the very bottom there remove al-info and you should be good to go.

P.S. please use code tags when posting stuff like that.

No need to apologise :smiley: Just was a reminder.

#11

after logout the script keeps coming… i can live with that :wink:

#12

If you reboot, what it does.

#13

Are you using bash or zsh? If you are using zsh you will need to removed al-info from the zshrc as well.

#14

im using Bash

#15

i will try it

#16

Sometimes it takes effects only after reboots, might not do anything, but never know.

#17

once you remove al-info from .bashrc it shouldn’t show again.

#18

after rebooting the system the script persists

#19

Well , it must be on zhs I guess.( was it removed , zhs I mean)

#20

You can’t have deleted al-info from .bashrc.

I did it just now on my test laptop and it worked.
