Ubuntu – How to add “Open terminal here” to Nautilus’ context menu

nautilussoftware installation

I am working on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.

I want to add "Open terminal here" to Nautilus context or right-click menu but it tries to download 32bit version from Internet.

You have to install the nautilus-open-terminal package from the universe repositories for Ubuntu versions up to Ubuntu 15.04:

sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal

If you want to install it with apturl, use this URL: apt://nautilus-open-terminal

Then:

nautilus -q

In order to restart Nautilus

Result

In Ubuntu 15.10, the functionality is already included in nautilus!

You need to markup your working directory. This is how I would do it:

Path: /usr/bin/git

Parameters: gui

Working directory: %d/%b

This will use the current directory, then the basename of the directory selected.

You can fix the missing context menu. I suggest removing the installed PPA version and the ppa (How do I remove a PPA added via command-line?), reinstall the version from Ubuntu and follow the instructions I derived from the bug reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rabbitvcs/+bug/1093533.

Copy it (using root/su/sudo) to:

/usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/RabbitVCS.py

You may also need to create the following symlink:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0 /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0

You will need to restart your session (log out and back in again) to see the changes.
