Layout won't load on startup
I am trying to get terminator to start multiple windows each with multiple terminals in them, some of which will run a custom command on startup. I cannot get this to work, not even when trying a simplistic setup with one window, two terminals, no custom command.
What is the "official" way to do this?
I am using terminator 0.96 from ppa on Ubuntu 11.10. I have tried the following:
a) Saved simple layout as "john" from GUI preferences. Loading the layout using...
a1) terminator -l john
- terminator window appears (sometimes) for a brief 10th of a second, then exits
a2) XDG_CONFIG_
- terminator window appears (sometimes) for a brief 10th of a second, then exits
b) Saved a file using contents for "john" layout found in ~/.config/
[layouts]
[[john]]
[[[child0]]]
position = 66:328
type = Window
order = 0
parent = ""
size = 1255, 842
[[[child1]]]
position = 627
type = HPaned
order = 0
parent = child0
[[[terminal3]]]
profile = green
command = date
type = Terminal
order = 1
parent = child1
[[[terminal2]]]
profile = default
command = echo $PATH
type = Terminal
order = 0
parent = child1
Saved as ~/.config/
Loading the layout using:
b1) terminator -l ~/.config/
- terminator window with a single terminal, default profile, appears. Text output:
layout does not exist: /home/john/
layout None not defined
NOTE: The file /home/john/
b2) XDG_CONFIG_
- same as b1).
Debug outpout says (excerpt):
noclass::<module>: Creating a terminal with layout: /home/john/
layout does not exist: /home/john/
layout None not defined
Factory::make: Factory::make: created a Window
Terminator:
ConfigBase::load: ConfigBase::load: config already loaded
Config:
For a) above, terminator debug output says, at the end:
Signalman:
Terminator:

Window:
Terminator:

ConfigBase:
