As an added data point, I found in running $ update-alternatives --display x-terminal-emulator x-terminal-emulator - auto mode link currently points to /usr/bin/guake /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper - priority 40 slave x-terminal-emulator.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/gnome-terminal.1.gz /usr/bin/guake - priority 50 slave x-terminal-emulator.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/guake.1.gz /usr/bin/koi8rxterm - priority 20 slave x-terminal-emulator.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/koi8rxterm.1.gz /usr/bin/lxterm - priority 30 slave x-terminal-emulator.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/lxterm.1.gz /usr/bin/uxterm - priority 20 slave x-terminal-emulator.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/uxterm.1.gz /usr/bin/xterm - priority 20 slave x-terminal-emulator.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/xterm.1.gz Current 'best' version is '/usr/bin/guake'.
that guake got set to the best version for me because somehow it got a priority of 50, winning out over gnome-terminal.wrapper. doing a --config allowed me to specify gnome-terminal.wrapper again, and Ctrl- Alt-t starting working as expected. Could be that this is caused for some by something during the upgrade to Vivid causing priorities to shift, and something unexpected like guake to be what actually happens when Ctrl-Alt-t is pressed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1432484 Title: ctrl+alt+t hot key doesn't open terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1432484/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
