Okay, I think I managed to work out a solution to this. What I think happens is that this extension adds two separate action (one a background action, that you can invoke via the File menu if you are selecting nothing; and a file action, that you can invoke when you select a folder). The problem is that the extension assigns both actions the same action type, which I think confuses Nautilus. I made a patch to call the file version of the action something different. The patch seems to work fine for me.
Here are some instructions for users who want to try this: First, install the build dependencies for the extension: sudo apt-get build-dep nautilus-open-terminal Then, fetch the source: mkdir nautilus-open-terminal cd nautilus-open-terminal apt-get source nautilus-open-terminal cd nautilus-open-terminal-0.18 At this point, download my patch and put it into that folder (nautilus- open-terminal/nautilus-open-terminal-0.18/). Then do this: patch -p1 < openterminal_patch.diff dch -l custom "Open terminal with folder selected fix." dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc -rfakeroot After the package has built, you just install it in your favourite way. >From the command line it'll be (the .deb file might be different if you're not on 64 bits): dpkg -i ../nautilus-open-terminal_0.18-1custom1_amd64.deb Now you have to restart nautilus. I do it by issuing this: killall -9 nautilus nautilus The nautilus should now have the fixed open terminal extension. ** Patch added: "openterminal_patch.diff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/51243659/openterminal_patch.diff -- Open terminal menu shortcut becomes invalid when a folder is selected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521029 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
