12.04command linegnomeshortcut-keys
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, and till day before yesterday, the shortcut was working perfectly. But when today I pressed it, it didn't open terminal.
The terminal app still works. I am on GNOME3 3.4.2, and I updated recently using apt-get install gnome-shell
The Keyboard shortcuts window shows no problem –
Pls. help, what should I do now?
You might be experiencing bug #520546
.
Possible fix:
Seems that I found the root of that problem. It is in console-cyrillic package. When I removed it, the bug has disappeared.
Alternately, you can run:
sudo kbd_mode -s
To fix the problem in 18.04. Unfortunately this is not a permanent fix.
I found it to be compiz doing the things - I did some customization and at first I wanted ctrl+alt to bring up my launcher - but setting this in compiz makes ctrl+alt+t bring up trash instead of terminal, I bound my commands otherwise and worked around the issue, but I'll leave this post open for future people with the same issue. Or maybe to get the problem solved, or at least an explanation to why it behaves at it does! Compiz seems buggy anyhow - lot of CPU usage etc. so I guess there's a good chance this is some compiz bug too.

This is a bug of Gnome Shell. The default shortcut will not work. But a new shortcut will work as usual.
Go to Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts. Click on + to add a new shortcut,
At the place of Name use Gnome terminal. In place of Command use the following string,
Now assign the key combination (Ctrl+Alt+T) on clicking on it. Afterwards the shortcut should work.
