RHBA-2011:1205 - nautilus-open-terminal bug fix update

Synopsis

nautilus-open-terminal bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated nautilus-open-terminal package that fixes various bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The nautilus-open-terminal extension provides the right-click "Open Terminal" option for Nautilus.

This updated nautilus-open-terminal package includes fixes for the following bugs:

  • This update adds the untranslated string which was missing in the Japanese translation of the graphical user interface. (BZ#630236)

  • Previously, the terminal failed to start if the user used a shell other than bash. The problem was caused by incorrect invocation parameters, which have been fixed and the terminal now launches properly. (BZ#640496)

  • Previously, nothing happened if there was no terminal application installed and the user right-clicked on the desktop and selected "Open Terminal". With this update, the gnome-terminal package has been set as a hard dependency to guarantee at least one terminal application is available. (BZ#716398)

All users of nautilus-open-terminal are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these bugs.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
