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 have Ctrl+Alt+T assigned as my keyboard shortcut to launch a Terminal window, but it stopped working after upgrading to 12.10.
I have verified that it is still set in the Keyboard Shortcuts settings menu, and have verified that other shortcuts (e.g.
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..
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.
I think it's gnome terminal, whatever the default that comes with Ubuntu is. I'm using version 12 and it has the icon "Terminal" as the application name.
I had a terminal profile set up with all my preferences and that worked fine for a couple of days. I'd click on the icon marked "Terminal" and the terminal would launch with my settings.
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, I installed the XFCE spin of F18 and added the MATE package group.
It works great (actually, both XFCE and MATE), but I face two problems:
1. II cannot get it (MATE) to start a terminal with a keyboard shortcut, not with the builtin Terminal item, and not with an added keyboard shortcut for the command (full path or just command name, doesn't matter).
‘Open in terminal’ is a nautilus plugin that adds an option into right-click context menu allow launching terminal and automatically navigate to current location.
I want to set up a launcher for my terminal in XFCE that automatically prompts for the su password, in gnome my shortcut was:
gnome-terminal --command="su -" --geometry=180x40+400+80
How do I configure the XFCE shortcut for that? the current properties are:
exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator
