I recently installed terminator in Ubuntu 14.04 TLS but when using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt +T it launches the terminator instead of the terminal. I'd like to regress back to having the shortcut launching the terminal but not sure how. Note that on the keyboard/Shortcuts/Launchers, the shortcut seems to be correctly mapped to 'Launch terminal'.

Many thanks!

Run sudo update-alternatives --set x-terminal-emulator $(which gnome-terminal.wrapper)

The system has x-terminal-emulator , which is symlinked to a particular program. When you've installed terminator , that symlink has been somehow changed to terminator. The command above will restore that to gnome terminal.

  • Thanks both! followed the possible duplicate and it did the trick. The 'sudo update-alternatives --set x-terminal-emulator $(which gnome-terminal)' command returned the error : alternative /usr/bin/gnome-terminal for x-terminal-emulator not registered; not setting – manolo__ Jun 19 '15 at 09:18
  • Oh, I see. It should be gnome-terminal.wrapper. I'll correct it – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Jun 19 '15 at 09:30
