Nothing happens after a successful installation

Asked by Davis

Ubuntu 3.8.0-26-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 17 21:43:33 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

File downloaded & installed: Nautilus Terminal 1.0

As the title says, after a successful installation according to the terminal, I restarted my pc, but when I logged in again, nothing has changed.

Then, I created the file .nautilus-terminal as it follows:

$ gedit ~/.nautilus-terminal

Which content is:

[general]
#The terminal height (lines)
def_term_height=5
#The terminal default visibility in new windows? (1: Visible, 0: Hidden)
def_visible=1
#The terminal position (1: Top, 0: Bottom)
#NOTE: it is not recommended to put the terminal on the bottom
term_on_top=1

[terminal]
#The shell to use (Nautilus Terminal use the user's defined shell by default)
shell=/bin/bash

But still nothing changed after a restart.

What should I do? What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance and sorry for bothering :P

Hello,

* What is your nautilus version?
* Have you installed Nautilus Python (https://projects.gnome.org/nautilus-python/) ?
* If you run nautilus from a terminal (nautilus -q && nautilus), is there any error message in the output?

Regards,

1. Nautilus Version: GNOME nautilus 3.6.3

2. At first (before posting my question here), I tried to install nautilus-terminal without even knowing I had installed nautilus python, so when I did, this message appeared:

Nautilus Python (>= 1.0) [MISS]

So I couldn't installed it, then I searched in internet and found out this command:

$ sudo apt-get install nautilus-phyton

So I typed, and then I could finally install nautilus-terminal

-> In sum, the answer is yes, it's installed... apparently (unless I have to additional configure nautilus-python in some way I don't know).

3. $ nautilus -q && nautilus
No se pudo registrar la aplicación: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

(I have Ubuntu in Spanish, but translating the first part, in english it says something like: "The application couldn't be registered/checked: ...").

What this means? What should I do now?

Thank you.

Hello,

It seems there is a problem with Nautilus Python: when Nautilus Terminal starts, it should display the following message in the terminal:

    [Nautilus Terminal] I: Initializing the Nautilus extension"

does the following file exists?

    /usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/nautilus_terminal.py

Regards,

Hello,

I made a test extension in order to know if the problem is caused by nautilus python or by nautilus terminal. To install it:

    mkdir -p ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/
    cd ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/
    wget http://tmp.fgsp.org/launchpad/nautilus-terminal/NautilusTestExtension.py
    chmod +x NautilusTestExtension.py
    nautilus -q && nautilus

Is there any message in the terminal?

NOTE:
to remove it type the following command and restart nautilus:

    rm ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/NautilusTestExtension.py

It appears the same error mesage I showed in my second reply:

"No se pudo registrar la aplicación: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)"

:S

Ok,

so extensions are not loaded at all.

 * What is your linux distribution ?
 * Are you using GNOME (GNOME Shell?) or an other environment?

1. Ubuntu 13.04 64 bits (Ubuntu 3.8.0-26-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 17 21:43:33 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

2. So you mean if it's Gnome, Kde, Unity, etc?
If that's the case, It's Unity (which came with Ubuntu by default).

I think I found the problem...

Can you try the following command (and then restart nautilus):

     sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0 /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0

NOTE:
This was the output of nautilus in my terminal:

(nautilus:2786): Nautilus-Python-WARNING **: g_module_open libpython failed: /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ImportError: could not import gobject (error was: '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpyglib-gi-2.0-python2.7.so.0: undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct')

Here is what I did and what it showed:

1. First I did what you said in your last reply:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0 /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0

2. Then I restarted nautilus:
$ nautilus -q && nautilus
No se pudo registrar la aplicación: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

3. Then, given the above message once again, I did this:
$ nautilus -q
[Nautilus Terminal] I: Initializing the Nautilus extension
################ Initializing test extension
sys:1: Warning: g_object_set: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

(nautilus:2928): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: Translation has an invalid value 'I-->D' for default text direction. Defaulting to left-to-right.

4. And then this:
$ nautilus
[Nautilus Terminal] I: Initializing the Nautilus extension
################ Initializing test extension
sys:1: Warning: g_object_set: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

(nautilus:2936): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: Translation has an invalid value 'I-->D' for default text direction. Defaulting to left-to-right.

Finally, I opened my home folder and it seems to work now, BUT (XD) it generated also something that bothers me, and it's a white horizontal line just under the black clock panel:

Although it seems not being such a problem, I want to ask you: why did it happen? Is it possible to remove?

Thank you very much :)

    rm ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/NautilusTestExtension.py
    nautilus -q && nautilus

Hello,

 it seems that the file '/home/fabrizio/.nautilus-terminal' have an invalid syntax (maybe a missing '[' at the start of the file).

You can try to fix or remove this file.

It is maybe due to an incompatible version of VTE. There is nothing to do but to patch Nautilus Terminal itself :s

Same problem, and fixed!
Problem comes from vte redefinition, now functin vte_terminal_fork_command_full is called as vte_terminal_spawn_sync.
To work, you must only edit line 124 of /usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/nautilus_terminal.py file, and change self.term.fork_command_full for self.term.spawn_sync.
