Change default terminal back to Bash in VS Code





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I installed zsh in my Ubuntu 18.04 but didn't like it. After installing it I was having issues, so I removed it.



The default terminal in my VS Code has not changed back to Bash for some reason.
Whenever I open the inbuilt terminal, an error message pops up:




The terminal process command '/usr/bin/zsh' failed to launch (exit code: 1)




screenshot of the error



I am just able to capture the screenshot - terminal gets automatically closed after fractions of a second.

  • Are you able to open a normal terminal, try doing Ctrl + Alt + T, and share results here.

Tray the following steps:




  1. In the VSC application open File>Preferences>Settings. Or press Ctrl+,;

  2. At this point you can browse the settings, or type terminal.integrated.shell.linux in the search bar;

  3. As value of the field Terminal > Integrated > Shell:Linux fill /bin/bash. Then restart the application.


enter image description here



Or, probably better, search for /bin/zsh and replace it with /bin/bash.
