Right click -> Open in Terminal doesn't work in Xubuntu

[VelocityRa]

Running on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS. Using XFCE with Nemo as my File Explorer instead of Thunar.

Related to #19 (comment)

Running x-terminal-emulator in console opens up Terminix as it should.

Issue happens with both xfwm4 and Compix (doesn't really seem relevant).

I can provide any other info.

This is because (I think) Nemo is currently only configured to launch the command gnome-terminal, which, of course, is not included by default in Xubuntu, the easiest workaround for now is the following command:
sudo apt-get install gnome-terminal -y

Thanks, it works but it doesn't use my preferred terminal (Terminix), it just opens Terminal.

I'll look around and see if I can fix it later.

Nemo uses Cinnamon's default terminal stored the gsettings key "org.cinnamon.desktop.default-applications.terminal" "exec".

To change it to Terminix without going through the Cinnamon settings program, use
gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec 'terminix'

Thank you so much, it worked! I found a similar solution online, same thing but it was for gnome so it didn't work.

@ChrisJAllan thanks!
working fine on fedora 27:
gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec 'tilix'

on arch linux xfce:

gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec 'xfce4-terminal'

Maybe using an OS variable like TERMINAL would be better. If it doesn't exists then fall back to the gnome settings.

funcionou pra min no Manjaro! o Nemo não estava abrindo o xfce4-terminal

Nemo uses Cinnamon's default terminal stored the gsettings key "org.cinnamon.desktop.default-applications.terminal" "exec".

I wanted to make hyper my default terminal and this solved the issue. Thanks a ton.
