command linenautilus
Never thought I might have to ask THIS, but this is my first linux installation, and I can't find the Terminal. How do I open it?
And is there any way to open the bash from the file explorer, starting with the file explorer's path as working path?
Thank you,
Simon L.
If you install nautilus-open-terminal (from Software Center or using apt-get) you can right click and open a terminal from wherever you right click:
You'll need to either log out or restart nautilus with a nautilus -q in order for it to take effect after you install it.
Gnome-terminal doesn't do this, as you are aware; unlike Nautilus, it doesn't have those sorts of extensions like open-terminal here. This is probably an undesirable feature anyway; URL recognition can be annoying as it is, but can you imagine doing a find and having everything clickable?
For your pwd example,
nautilus `pwd`
works, (but then so does nautilus .) For this task, I have a bash alias:
alias n="nautilus ."
so that whenever I type n, it opens nautilus wherever I am.
Otherwise, the format:
nautilus `<insert command that prints a directory here>`
works, but doesn't get you the feature you're looking for.
A workaround would be:
nautilus<space> at the prompt

The way I do it is to install the
nautilus-open-terminalpackage, (and then restart nautilus):Then you can right click on a folder, or in empty space and you will have the option to "Open in Terminal". If you select that option a new terminal will be opened with the working directory set to that folder.
