How can I open a new terminal window from a terminal in linux?


Solution 1:

That's system specific. On KDE, just type konsole. On Gnome, it's gnome-terminal. What should work on every X system is xterm.

Edit: Removed the bit about $TERM, as it is an "identifier for the text window’s capabilities" and not necessarily the name of an executable binary.

Solution 2:

I think what you want is:

Ctrl+Shift+T -> new tab

or

Ctrl+Shift+N -> new terminal
