Terminal starts in wrong dir

I haven't done anything to change this voluntarily. My terminal starts in my pictures dir no matter what.

How do I change it back to my home dir?

Try put this into your ~/.bashrc

cd /home/yourname/

Is your $HOME variable set to your home dir?

How are you starting X? If you're using startx and you were in wherever your pictures directory is, then this is expected.

Ahh this is probably it! I haven't tinkered with anything in the .bashrc so this is most plausible. Thanks everybody!

How do you start your terminal? If you're starting it from another terminal

[karol@black ~]$ cd test
[karol@black test]$ xterm
<start xterm>

In xterm

$ pwd
/home/karol/test
$
