Hi, I run Awesome DE, and in rc.lua I specify lxterminal as the default terminal, when I execute a terminal call from 'ranger FM' I get what could be xterm (there's no head to the app so I can't look at info). Where is this being set? So I can manipulate it and change to 'lxterminal'?
thanks, sorry for the stupid question but I can't seem to find it anywhere, I checked rc.conf on Arch and ranger, I checked apps.py in ranger, I also checked the xdg menu area but there wasn't a default.list to look at.
thanks in advance for your help.

You can change it in ~/.config/ranger/commands.py. Around line 450, there should be something like:
class terminal(Command):
"""
:terminal
Spawns an "x-terminal-emulator" starting in the current directory.
"""
def execute(self):
self.fm.run('x-terminal-emulator', flags='d')
Just change the x-terminal-emulator to lxterminal.

Yes it is xterm as I thought where is this set?

Cool thanks for the info, I could have sworn I search for terminal in this file. I don't know how I missed it.
anyway thanks again I appreciate it.

$HOME/.profile or $HOME/.bash_profile:
export TERM=lxterm

Cool thanks I had checked everything else, /etc/environment, /etc/profile, ~/.bashrc .bashrc_profile didn't have it either but because although I can override it, I want to know where is at. I still haven't found where it is being set at. When I find it I will post it. I checked a crap load of start up files and nothing.
thanks for all your help everyone, I know I can override it but that's not the point, I want to know where the little b**tards at.

I don't know that's what I have been trying to determine, I can't find where the variable is loaded, I have checked miles of files and can't find it.
thanks
