Unable to open terminal in a directory

Question

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and I noticed this issue recently. I cannot open a terminal in a directory by right clicking in the directory and selecting "Open in Terminal". However, I'm able to launch the terminal from applist and cd to any directory. What can be the issue?

Does this answer your question? How to add "Open terminal here" to Nautilus' context menu? For 20.04, see Asadullah Al Galib's answer — Kulfy, Jul 26 '20 at 08:21

Maybe I think Nautilus GNOME Terminal extensions are not installed. In recent versions (20.04) that is not installed by default. First quit all Nautilus windows with:

nautilus -q

Then run:

sudo apt install nautilus-extension-gnome-terminal

Then reboot and open Nautilus.
