"Open In Terminal" action in Nautilus in Ubuntu 14.04? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

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!

Solution 2:

nautilus-open-terminal and nautilus-actions packages are available in Universe repository of Ubuntu 14.04. So run the below commands to enable universe repository and also to install above mentioned packages.

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
sudo apt-get install nautilus-actions

Finally run nautilus -q command to quit nautilus.Now you can be able to see Open in terminal option on right-clicking.

Solution 3:

Here is my script to open terminal in the current directory,

I built my own after the open-terminal plugin stopped working for me

#!/bin/bash
##################################
# A nautilus script to open gnome-terminal in the current directory
# place in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
##################################
#                                       Remove file:// from CURRENT_URI
gnome-terminal --working-directory=`echo "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI" | cut -c 8-`

PS: Here is some bonus info

Assigning a shortcut to the script

Add executable script to ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
Wait some time - nautilus regenerates accels file
Edit file ~/.gnome2/accels/nautilus
Find line similar to this one:

; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/ScriptsGroup/script_file:\\s\\s\\shome\\sgautam\\s.gnome2\\snautilus-scripts\\sopen-terminal" "")

Remove comment (semicolon) and specify shortcut like this:

(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/ScriptsGroup/script_file:\\s\\s\\shome\\sgautam\\s.gnome2\\snautilus-scripts\\sopen-terminal" "<Primary><Shift>t")

Save file.
Logout - login.

Solution 4:

Just use:

sudo apt-get install nautilus-extension-gnome-terminal

and Logout/Login or reboot.

Solution 5:

I have just installed Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop edition today 07-18-2014, and all I had to do to get the command line option in Nautilus was the following in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
nautilus -q
