This is a trivial thing, but it's driving me nuts...
Environment:
Linux Mint 13 (Mate)
Normal user, with admin rights
Problem:
When I right click in a directory window I get the option "Open in Terminal", but when I select this, nothing happens - no terminal window opens.
Also, if I run an executable script with the "Run in Terminal" option, I don't get a terminal window either.
I know this used to work for me a while ago...
Basically, is this a known problem, and is it easy to fix? If not known, where can I go to see if any errors have been reported by this action?
Thanks,
David

Re: "Open in Terminal" not working for me
There's some enviroment variables ...
...though when I "open terminal here" from a file browser, I get xfce-terminal from thunar and gnome-terminal from pcmanfm (in which you can define the terminal to open, which is by far the best way). My regular terminal is "terminator".
Try reinstalling your terminal application!
Code: Select all
$ env | grep erm
TERM=xterm
COLORTERM=gnome-terminal

Re: "Open in Terminal" not working for me
Good call!
This is my setup:
But when I looked in the synaptic package manager xterm wasn't installed! I have no idea where that went, as it's not something I would uninstall intentionally...
Anyway - many thanks!
