I had "open in terminal" in my previous ubuntu of 14.04 and it was a life safer, I can open terminal at a specific location and path. In ubuntu 16.04 also I want some thing like that so I followed this answer and installed nautilus-actions. The problem with this is that it will work only inside a nautilus and not work in desktop. Is there a light weight software which can be used to "Open terminal here" in both the desktop and nautilus?

EDIT:

I somehow missed "open in terminal" in my nautilus window. It seems that ubuntu 16.04 has built in "open in terminal" for nautilus. But my problem still exists. I cant open "open in terminal" from desktop.

    This feature exist in 16.04 and you do not need nautilus-actions. Maybe during the upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 something is went wrong. Have you tried to reinstall Nautilus? – pa4080 Mar 22 '18 at 12:57

This has moved to Gnome-Terminal package. Please uninstall it and install. Open xterm and run below commands.

sudo apt-get purge gnome-terminal
sudo apt-get install gnome-terminal

Restart the computer.

  • There is no such package for 16.04: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=nautilus-open-terminal – muru Mar 22 '18 at 06:25
  • I thought this question is on older version thanks a lot for pointing it out – dedunu Mar 22 '18 at 13:31
