What did you edit?

If you press CTRL+ALT+T does the terminal open ok?

yesterday , i asked you something about command execution in terminal via clicking a file

u gave me some code for a desktop launcher.
i run that in terminal and it gives out the error forever since.

i tried launching terminal from unity dash and also by ctrl+alt+t .. it just opens and gives the error ..

Making a launcher on the desktop won't affect the terminal launching. If you use terminal a lot I suggest you install guake and you will get a handy drop down terminal on shortcut key, it will show and hide on the same key and the commands ran will continue to run when it is hidden.

Can you help with this problem?
