Using Elementary terminal but says unsupported

[arjunmenon]

Hey
As per the docs, I simply did this bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://git.io/vQgMr)", which showed a beautiful list of color options but when I entered a option number it said unsupported terminal.

Usage : Enter Desired Themes Numbers (OPTIONS) Separated By A Blank Space
        Press ENTER without options to Exit

Enter OPTION(S) : 164

Theme: Twilight
•••••••• ••••••••

Unsupported terminal!

Supported terminals:
   mintty and deriviates
   guake
   iTerm2
   elementary terminal (pantheon/elementary)
   mate-terminal
   gnome-terminal
   tilix
   xfce4-terminal

If you believe you have recieved this message in error,
try manually setting `TERMINAL', hint: ps -h -o comm -p $PPID
>$ ps -h -o comm -p $PPID
pantheon-termin
>$ 

I am on Elementary 0.4.1 Loki/Ubuntu16.04 Build

Hi, I'm on the same build and just faced this issue. I'll just leave this here in case someone else stumbles upon this. A quick-fix for this will be to execute the following line:

export TERMINAL='pantheon-terminal'

followed by bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://git.io/vQgMr)"

In short, on elementary OS 5.0 Juno I did this:

• cloned the full repo: git clone https://github.com/Mayccoll/Gogh.git
• export TERMINAL='io.elementary.terminal' and not export TERMINAL='pantheon-terminal'
• export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules/
• source themes/google-light.sh
  Then later checked that this also work:
• bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://git.io/vQgMr)"
  Hope this helps.

I got this issue in a gnome-terminal when running bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://git.io/vQgMr) as a root user.

Switching users and running the command again worked as expected.

For GNOME please rename the default profile as "Default" instead of "unnamed" to make the script work as expected

Is it possible to set the theme from Elementary OS default terminal with right-click -> profile like in the Demo?

It doesn't work for me.

For anyone still stuck on this, the correct answer (currently) is to do export TERMINAL='io.elementary.terminal', because the name of the terminal for elementary os has changed a few times. "io.elementary.terminal" is the current name.
