Ubuntu :: Open A Terminal Under The Current Directory?

Oct 10, 2010

So for example, I go to PLACES -> DOWNLOADS and somehow open up a terminal for that rather than opening up a terminal to type "cd ~/Downloads" I know its simple to do that but when your dealing with some crazy directory like:

/media/2TB-DATA/BackUps/Regular/Downloads/Pictures/Family/Me/HiDef/ or something, and ur already browsing through it using the file browser, it would be nice to be able to open up a terminal for that directory.

what I'd like to have is a way to open a terminal directly from Nautilus and the terminal's active directory should be the one that is opened in Nautilus. Does Nautilus have a plugin system or is there another way to add this functionality?

Ubuntu :: Opening Current Directory In Nautilus From Terminal?

May 20, 2010

Like the title says, I want to be able to open the directory I'm browsing in nautilus.To clarify this, as I barely understand what I said, I'll give an example.

Code:
cd ~/what/ever/this/is/complex/path
Hmmm.... A lot of files in here with long complex names and I only want to move certain ones..... Better open it in nautilus with my handy dandy script/alias!

Ubuntu :: How To Change Terminal App For Nautilus-open-terminal

Dec 1, 2010

I've fallen in love with Terminator as a replacement for the standard gnome-terminal app.

However, I'm also very much in the habit of using the nautilus-open-terminal extension for launching new terminal sessions.

I'd like nautilus-open-terminal to launch Terminator rather than gnome-terminal.

A quick search of my system and the web didn't reveal anything. i didn't find a gconf setting to control this. A quick look at the source code didn't help much either.

Ubuntu :: Create A Command That Will Open Terminal And Keep It Open?

Jul 30, 2010

I have a problem that I can't seem to figure out. I can easily create a .sh file that will execute a command in Terminal, but as soon as it executes the terminal disappears. How do I get it to stay? My idea is to have the keyboard shortcut "ctrl+alt+del" open a .sh file with the contents "ps ax". Then it would be just like having a task manager; the terminal would open with "ps ax" already executed, and all I would have to do is kill the process number.

Ubuntu :: Show Current Commands In Terminal?

Jan 6, 2010

I was wondering if there was a way to show all current actions I am doing in a terminal window? For example if I left a terminal window open on one of my desktops, could I make it display everything I am doing so that when I receive some general error in a program, I could jump over and get some more details. I could also use it to see what commands are actually run when I do certain things.

Ubuntu :: Change Prompt For Current Terminal Only?

Feb 7, 2011

I program in C with geany and two terminals open; one to compile and one to test the compiled program. The thing is that it's hard to the eyes to keep track of the messages and such when the terminal prompt is too long:

Code:
manos@manos-desktop:/media/Iomega1TB/Documents/UNI/Datastrukturer och Algoritmer/labbar/lab1$

How can I change that to something minimal? I don't want a permanent solution as all other times I want to be aware of the current path.

Ubuntu :: Make Nautilus Search In Current Directory By Default

May 14, 2010

I work on Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome.When I open a directory, I can search with Ctrl-f (edited Ctrl-F instead of F3). However, the search starts in my home directory (the home directory is the default). That can be fixed by adding new criteria in the search results. However, I would like to change the default directory always to the directory or folder from which I start the search.How can I convince Nautilus to search by default for files and folder names in the current directory or folder (the one from which I start searching)?

Ubuntu :: Find Last Modified File In Current Directory And All Subdirectories?

May 28, 2010

I need to write a script that is given a directory as an argument, and it prints the last modified file from that directory and all its subdirectories.

for example:

$ newest /usr/etc
--> /usr/etc/httpd/httpd May 28 12:16

If I had to do it only for the current dir, it would be easy...I'd probably use "ls -lt" and then show only the first line...

Programming :: Referring To The Current Terminal In A Bash Script?

Dec 22, 2010

I've got some bash scripts that I'm testing which operate on different screen sessions under different usernames. In order to check the status of them, however, I have to attach the screen sessions to my current terminal.

I run into problems, though; I only allow SSH to my machine from one username; the others shouldn't need SSH access. So, I log in as one user, and su into whichever user I need. Without performing a chmod o+rw on the terminal before I su into a different user, screen complains that it can't reattach to my terminal, because the user trying to make it attach doesn't have the permissions to do so.

Seeing as I forget to do this a lot, I wanted to make a script that I'd run on log-in to do this for me. Unfortunately, I don't know if there's a bash variable that refers to the current terminal - I can't always guarantee that I'll be logging in to /dev/pts/0, especially if my internet connection gets cut and I leave a hanging terminal...

Is there a variable for that or a way to refer to it in a script? If not, how do I work around that?
