'Run command as login shell' in LXTerminal

Question

So I'm trying to get RVM setup on Lubuntu using instructions here. They say to change my shell settings, but the UI of Lubuntu / LXTerminal doesn't have that option (as far as I could see). If I try to go without it, I get errors later on, saying pretty much the same thing. If I try to look up help, it says pretty much the same thing. What should I do?

Solution

According to man lxterminal:

-l --loginshell
       Executes login shell.

You have to start the terminal manually with the -l option.

But that is pointless, since you can always run a login shell easily using:

bash -l

from a terminal which is not running a login shell. So everytime you open a new shell while installing, start a login shell using bash -l. This is only needed until you logout or restart.
