View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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.
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.

View 2 Replies View Relatedhow I can gain access to folder in Ubuntus 9.10 terminal. when I use a command like ./ Documents or ~/ Documents The terminal only states that "There is a folder named Documents" but never lets me enter. I can create a folder using the mkdir command and I can navigate that folder as long as that terminal session is active. When I close out the terminal and try to reopen it denies acces the same way as mentioined above. Do I need to set some type of access permissions or?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have some adlib music files I want to be able to double click from Nautilus.. the command line program that will play them is adplay.. However, if I just do that, then when I double click, the music plays, but no way to stop it!I tried "gnome-terminal adplay --output=oss" as the custom command but it doesn't seem to work.. I need it to open the terminal with adplay so i can stop the music when im done, since there's no GUI front end for this program..ALSA is the default for this app, but it skips horribly, and OSS was the only output device that works..
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn Xubuntu 9.04 I could right click in any directory folder and have the option of opening a terminal window "there". So the terminal command line would open preloaded to that directory. I know, I'm lazy, but it sure made life (and command line work) easier. But it's not available in my new install of Ubuntu 10.04. Now, I know that my gui environment has changed from xfce to gnome, but I would have expected MORE features, not less.

but i cant find the terminal
In a terminal type this:
Code:
'chromium-browser'
I looked all over the internet on how to figure this out and I couldn't find it.
How did I figure it out? I'm running Xubuntu 10.04 and it doesn't seem to let you just drag and drop the shortcut into a panel from the applications menu. You have to add the panel shortcut manually. To do this, right-click a panel and select Add New Items > Launcher. Then right-click the launcher click properties...
Here's where I got stuck. To make a good launcher/shortcut you need to know the command and put in an icon. I couldn't find the command at first so I put in the icon first instead by clicking on the icon icon (not a typo) in the launcher's properties. Select All Icons from the drop-down menu at the top of the icon selection window. Arbitrarily click on any icon and type chromium. Here's where you find your chromium icon and guess what the name of it is? "chromium-browser" This is how I figured out what the heck the command was to open the stupid thing.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo 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.
I've just installed ubuntu 10.10 and found it to be great until the next morning... I logged on today to find my top and bottom menu bars have gone!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use a command to open a partition or disc from the top like open up external drive, and not have to be externaldrive/videos or whatever. The reason being is to use in cairo dock, I have tried to drag n drop like i am able to with regular folders, but no good. I seen the option to run a command, and figured I would try it that way.
I have the partitions and discs i want to access mounted. they are:
External Drive (/dev/sdc1)
Storage (/dev/sdb1)
Windows (/dev/sda2)
I tried to open them in terminal, /media/storage: no such file or directory;
/dev/sdc1: Permission denied;
open /media/storage or /dev/sdc1
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console;
se7en@PC:~$ nautilus /media/storage or nautilus /dev/sdc1 .....
Along with a pop-up saying 'the location is not a folder'.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a script where all I have to do is double click the script file, and it opens and runs 2 commands. That's it. Or run a command from a certain directory.
I'm looking for something similar to Batch files in windows. I've looked and found the shell scripts and I created one, and it works and runs the script, but it doesn't open the terminal for me.
In short, a way to make a script, where all I have to do is double click the file, and it runs,
cd /home/sds/srcds_1/orangebox
./srcds_run -console -game cstrike +map de_dust -maxplayers 16 -autoupdate
Or, from that directory so I don't have to cd.
I installed Open SSH and don't know how to launch it from the terminal.
