Nemo "open terminal" doesn't work here.

Nemo "open terminal" doesn't work here.

[clefebvre]

Doesn't "work"? :)

[leigh123linux]

I expect it to open a terminal window and it doesn't.

[clefebvre]

It calls x-terminal-emulator

[leigh123linux]

I don't think fedora uses x-terminal-emulator

$ which x-terminal-emulator
/usr/bin/which: no x-terminal-emulator in (/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/leigh/.local/bin:/home/leigh/bin)

@clefebvre Thank you for the help.

The patch below fixes the issue on fedora

That's not the right fix unless you want to make nemo dependent on gnome-terminal...

The "open terminal" feature in fedora nautilus has always been tied to gnome-terminal.

Follow 2 patches(second just fixes my inaccuracy with g_free)

implement default terminal setting via gsetting(org.nemo.preferences.terminal param). Many distros don't use x-terminal-emulator so may be better to gsettings. If necessary I can create pull request.

I'm wondering when will vovka-korovka's patch will be merged.

[ElectricRCAircraftGuy]

This issue still exists when running nemo in Xubuntu 16.04 LTS.

[jeromedecoster]

This issue still exists when running nemo in Xubuntu 16.10 too
