In Ubuntu 12.04, by default, the /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh will not be loaded when starting a new terminal. So every time, when starting a new termail, cmd as follows must be used to start rvm:

source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

And there are two ways to fix it:

1. open a new terminal-> right click and select Profiles->Profile Preferences->Title and Command->select "Run command as a login shell".

2. open a new terminal->run cmd as follows then the /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh will be auto loaded in a new terminal:

   echo '[[ -s "/etc/profile.d/rvm.sh" ]] && . "/etc/profile.d/rvm.sh" # Load RVM function' >> ~/.bashrc

As some explanation here to say the 1st solution is not a nice one but the 2nd is suggested.

So in other way round, if you do not want the terminal to run something in a new terminal, you need to check whether the auto load is coursed by the two ways:

1. check whether the "Run command as a login shell" is selected and unselect it.

2. open the ~/.bashrc file ,find the lines related loading the function and delete it.
