I'm stuck. Ubuntu 11.10 was working fine. I tried to create a desktop icon that I could click and run a Terminal command. (not launch a program, just run a command to set something). I don't know what I did, but now I can't get Terminal to run at all. I can't click on Terminal in the Launchbar or use alt-F2. If I try, I see a VERY quick box open and close.
I've downloaded from the USC an app that grabs colors with the mouse (result shows in the terminal) and I'm trying to add a unity launcher app to run that command in the gnome-terminal.
Here is the code:
#!/usr/bin/bash
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Grab Color
Exec=gnome-terminal -x grabc
Categories=Development;
Icon=/home/diogo/.local/share/applications/colorline.png
The problem is th
I would like to be able to click on SSH links that look like ssh://user@servername and have a gnome-terminal open that runs SSH inside of it.
After reading up on the XDG stuff I did the following:
I created a shell script in $HOME/bin/ssh-terminal with the following:
#!/bin/sh
dest=${1#ssh://}
gnome-terminal -e "ssh $dest" &
This works from the command line.
I created $HOME/.local/share/
Hi,
In Gnome 2.x launching a Terminal was as easy as right clicking on the desktop.
Is there a way to get that back?
Secondly, when I click the Terminal icon in the Activities dock thingy, unless I select new from the menu, it simply makes an existing window active. Is there a way to change that so that all I have to do is click on the icon to get a new terminal?
Thanks.
Each time, if I want to use terminal, I press super key, typing terminal in search box, and enter to select terminal icon.
How can I have hotkey to open terminal. (I'm not say hotkey : control + alt + Fn because it will open a full-console, not what I want). I just want a terminal windows.
I have searched in keyboard shortcut, but I don't see option to select hotkey for this purpose.
I've just updated ubuntu to 11.10 a couple of days ago. When i was experimenting with the launcher, i removed a terminal icon, which was running and un-clicked "keep in launcher".
I downloaded and installed Eclipse JUNO in Fedora 17, KDE desktop and created an eclipse.desktop. The icon does appear in the Application.Development section but it does not open when selected. I am able to open Eclipse on the command line.
I like the terminal, it's handy to have open but this happens eveytime:
open terminal
type something in it
switch to another program
dammit terminal is closed
:-/ This happens even if I just type something in the command line and leave it there, or if I open a program through the command line or if I'm just looking through my folders...
edit
Sorry this is the true chain of events:
List it
So i tried making a desktop shortcut which executes a very simple shell script.
But when i double click/right click->execute it, it does nothing. (or atleast i think it does nothing)
heres how my shortcut and shell script looks:
Note the shortcut has "Terminal" set to 1, and i hope that means that it opens the shell script in a new terminal window..
