I am addicted to the “Open Terminal” plugin for Nautilus. I have a lot of different SFTP bookmarks and mounts, and I always want to open an SSH terminal using the menu. However, anyone using Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04) knows that it’ll crash the file browser, which is a serious bummer.
I’ve backported the package from the upcoming Karmic release:
- nautilus-open-terminal_0.13-2_i386 (32-bit)
Note: This backport was made before Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) was release, and a newer backport is probably available now. Check your repository first.
How I made that backport
I got the source from the nautilus-open-terminal page for the new version in Karmic, since this version isn’t in Jaunty. If it was in Jaunty you could get the source by simply doing apt-get source nautilus-open-terminal. Before you begin you’ll need any packages you don’t have that are needed for compiling by sudo apt-get build-dep nautilus-open-terminal.
Untar the sources using tar -xzf nautilus-open-*, and apply the patch using patch -p0 < nautilus-open-terminal_0.13-2.diff. Now inside the source directory (cd nautilus-open-terminal-*) execute debuild -uc -us -b to make an unsigned binary package.
