I use the terminal each time I use Ubuntu so am looking for a way of opening it automatically on each startup.

Currently I'm using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T which does the job pretty well but I'd like to avoid this step each time I start my system.

If you are using Ubuntu open "Startup applications".
Open the dash and search for "Startup applications".
Click on "Add" and add a gnome-terminal entry.

  • Name : Terminal
  • Command : gnome-termnial

enter image description here

See here for more information on how to launch applications on Ubuntu startup.

  • I'm using the LXDE desktop and don't have a menu item for "Startup Applications". How else can I open this? – henrywright Sep 07 '15 at 08:35
  • For LXDE, go in Preferences > Default applications for LXSession > Autostart and then simply check your terminal application ;) – hg8 Sep 07 '15 at 08:40
  • Great, I've opened Autostart but my terminal app isn't in the list. Any ideas? – henrywright Sep 07 '15 at 08:42
  • I have no LXDE desktop in front of me but from memory it should be displayed as lxterminal. If it is not on the list simply click Add and add a new entry with command : lxterminal – hg8 Sep 07 '15 at 08:47
