Ubuntu :: Right-click Terminal Open In Kubuntu, Impossible?
May 16, 2011
I want to right-click on the desktop and open a terminal. I have spent HOURS trying to find a way to do this, and I cannot. What am I missing?When I right click, the "standard menu" opens up and I don't know how to add items to this menu
After a cleaning of some software from my ubuntu (Jaunty) desktop I am no longer able to open a terminal window in Gnome.I tried to reinstall gnome terminal from synaptic but this made no difference...In the command line that you get with Alt-F2 I tried the code: man ls and a terminal window opens but after exiting the man page (q) it disappears!
Even after changing the file name to Document, Doc, Docs, etc. It always makes it the default directory. It's not a "Deal-Breaker" with me deciding between Ubuntu 11.04 Classic and Kubuntu 11.04, but it's kind of annoying. How do I change it to my home directory *I.E /home/theif519* instead of /home/theif519/Doc* ?
Currently i'm using a HP 6735b laptop. Everything is fine just one problem which is ATI driver. This one gave me:
1. Impossible to start up Kubuntu, they show welcome screen and stuck for century. LiveCD version of Kubuntu and KDE environment via Ubuntu is fine (since i already installed ATI driver).
2. Without ATI driver, whenever i unplug my A/C power the computer will be frozen. After installed driver everything will be fine.
What kind of problem is that, compatible with ATI or serious bug. Karmic Koala 9.10 is absolutely perfect.
Since 2 days, when I type the lowercase 'a' letter in a terminal, nothing is written (it's not the case for the uppercase 'A' letter). The matter appears with all terminal's software (guake, Terminal, xterm...). The only way for me to type the 'a' letter is to type 'Insert' key before. I tried many solutions but the matter is still here. Here, there is some clarifications and some solutions I tried: -If I copy and paste a text, 'a' don't appears. For example, if i try to copy and paste 'sudo apt-get install' 'sudo pt-get instll' will appears -The matter appears 2 days ago. Before that, I removed the .gconf file -It's not a fresh installation of ubuntu but an update from karmic to lucid. When i was under karmic, I was using KDE. Then I did an upgrade, then I tried Xubuntu and Lubuntu and finally I moved to Ubuntu. The first week under Ubuntu (Gnome) was without any matter and 2 days ago, this matter appeared.
-I tried this following command line: xmodmap -pke >fichier.conf and the file called "fichier.conf" (I'm french) contains this line: keycode 24 = a A a A ae AE ae AE
-When I type this line: printf "x61 " a 'a' appears in my terminal.
-In tty1 and all the other programs, 'a' appears without any trouble
-I tried with other users in my computer but the matter is still the same no matter wich user I use.
-I tried to change fonts of my environment and I also tried to change fonts only for the terminal but whithout success.
I basically am hoping for a line of bash script I can put into "Open With" for folders so I can get a terminal with the right path. I hate manually typing in paths to places when I am looking right at them in nautilus. "gnome-terminal" doesn't work - it just opens a terminal to ~.
My last laptop was replaced (I gave it to my step-dad, his laptop broke and I bought myself a new one).
I am running Squeeze (as I was on my other laptop) and everything is fine except for the games. On my other laptop games like OpenArena and Warzone 2100 ran perfectly fine, but on this laptop, they are impossible to play. The game will open, but everything is so slow and choppy that it takes a couple of minutes to even move the cursor to the exit game buttons.
My current laptop is an HP ProBook4525s with the current specs:
AMD Athlon Dual-Core P340 2.2 GHz processor 2GB DDR3 RAM ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics Card
I'm not sure what other information to put here, I've tried searching how to fix this and most people say to lower the resolution and details for the games but that doesn't work, heck, even Tux Kart is too slow to play!
When I installed squeeze I was informed that I didn't have the rtl8168d-2.fw firmware for my laptop, I'm not sure if that helps here at all (can't seem to find what it is for, the only things that google gives me are very technical with fixes that involve re-compiling the kernel).
So when I click Places in the Main Menu and then any directory like Desktop or Documents or Pictures the Movie Player starts, and all the files that the directory contains are in the playlist. The only way around is to click Computer which would bring me into the file manager as normal.
I'm having minor, but very annoying, issue in Kubuntu 9.10. Recently I installed the Gnome desktop to see if certain bugs I was experiencing were KDE-centric. I have since uninstalled Gnome (and reconfigured my audio drivers and reinstalled wicd, all of which was made short shrift of by Gnome), but one thing I can't get rid of is this annoying drum click sound in certain applications. All extension buttons in my browser now make the click sound, as well as the TrueCrypt GUI.
I know this is a very minor issue, but I've always configured my operating systems with absolutely no system sounds (only audio and video playback), so I'm finding this particularly distracting. Right now, the only option I have is to mute PCM volume, which also mutes streaming audio and video in my browser...
I'm at my wit's end. I have all sound notifications turned off in system settings (though there were relatively few to begin with in KDE). there's a magic sudo code I can cast to exorcise my computer of mouse click sounds.
Is there a way to set a default terminal window size when I click on the "Terminal" icon? I need my terminal to be of a certain size every time I click on it?
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.
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.
I try to configure mouse click interval since a single click is recognized as double click by doing it from KDE mouse configuration in system settings; but my attempt doesn't work even (I set the click interval to 2 sec, but doesn't change anything). What is the best way to do this in slackware?
Anyone know how to add the capability to right-click on the desktop in Fedora 15 to get the terminal? I googled it and there was an article which said to install gnome-tweak-tool and use the file manager. So I did, but right click does exactly nothing.
See the pic. It happens in both Yakuake and Konsole. I am using inconsolita size 13, but the problem occurs irrespective of size.
I think it's only the bolded text which gets cutoff, but I am not sure. This problem is especially bad when writing something using nano or vim.
Just tried it with DejaVu Sans Mono, and the problem disappears. Weird. I would still like a solution, if you know anything, I am somewhat picky about inconsolita.
I have been using Ubuntu for a week and getting on well with it. After reading reviews I decided to try Kubuntu. I installed it from the terminal and all seemed to go well. Now when I start the computer and select ubuntu it goes to a log in screen. I type in my user name and password and all I get is a terminal screen in the top left. If I close this I go through a 'broken screen' and back to the sign in.
just want to report "Right Mouse Click Freeze" on Ubuntu 10.10. When I click on anything with my right mouse button to open options menu it freezes and does not open menu. Sometimes when I shake my mouse left/right a bit it opens that menu, but this does not work always. It seems like xserver issue, but I'm not sure since I'm not expert in linux yet. It's very annoying issue that I would like to resolve asap.

Strange. After a recent update, I can no longer right click on a folder and open it as Administrator. I get this error message:
Unable to determine the program to run.
The item you selected cannot be open with administrator powers because the correct application cannot be determined.
I don't quite get this but why is it looking for a program to run? I only want to open a folder, not run a program. Anyway, I have done an uninstall and re-install of nautilus-gksu but that did not solve the problem. I have googled but no answers I could use.
Again, all I want to do is open a folder as Administrator so I can perform other operations that require root permission on files in that folder.
10.10....can't click on a desktop icon and get it to open...for example a mounted drive BUT if I right click and select open it will but none of the icons in the open drive will then open upon clicking...this is a relatively new install and it worked fine until very recently...I've swapped the mouse and moved it to another usb port.
Evolution error "No application is registered as handling this file" when clicking a link in a email in kubuntu 11.04. Must copy and paste link in web browser (firefox).
I had Microsoft Office installed with wine and after I removed it I still get Microsoft Office Applications in the Right-click open with menu. Does anybody know where to edit those entries for removal?
I just installed Kubuntu on my computer running win xp. I have had problems with the resolution because it only lets me set it at 800x600. I have read many of the post here and most of them tell your to use xrandr or xorg config. When i run the xrandr iI end up with a message saying can't open display and also when i try the xorg confing. I installed kubuntu using wubi.
1. In windows, you can create batch files. I know Shell files are the equivalent of that in linux, but how do i create one?I tried creating a text document, typing echo Test, and saving it as .shell but it came up with a empty terminal.
2.How do i add the Right Click> Open With WINE, like there was in Ubuntu. I currently have to go through terminal and type Wine ProgramName, which i am fine with, but I want shortcuts (reason for asking about batches)
3. Finally, how do i add programs to the KDE Menu? I made a custom menu, but when i try and send a program to it, it works unless its a windows executable, which what i'm using is, how can i still add it? The Program is Brutus AE2, and i want to add it the KDE with the command "Wine" so when you click it it launches a terminal, enters Wine BrutusA2.exe and runs?
part of my current work involves cutting and pasting file names to text files. Double clicking on the terminal should select the "word" (and triple clicking selects the line). Many of my files contain special characters such as a "+" sign, and double clicking only seems to select up to the plus sign. (The "+" is useful information, so renaming he files isn't really an option, plus it would take too long).
Is it possible in gnome terminal (or a different terminal - gnome terminal is the default on this system) to reconfigure this so it selects up to the whitespace, rather than the "+" sign?
I used to be able to open the Rhythmbox window by just clicking the Rhythmbox icon in the notification area. Now in Lucid it brings up a menu (isn't that what right click is for??) and I have to select "Show Rhythmbox", and sometimes I accidentally click on "Quit" and I have to start Rhythmbox again. It's a real PITA. Is there any way to make it the way it was before? I've looked at the Rhythmbox options and can't find anything about it. (Why do GNOME applications always have barely any options?)
I would like to find a way to have an option appear to open the on screen keyboard when I click in a text box.the moment I am using a ginn multi-touch gesture to bring up 'onboard', is there another way do this?
