Hello community,

Clicking right in nautilus of the standard dabian vm, a context menu appears with the option “Open in Terminal”.

But this Option is not present in a Minimal Template VM. How can I add it? Do I need an other Package for that?

I have installed the following packages so far:

  • fonts-dejavu-core
  • zenity
  • qubes-core-agent-networking
  • qubes-core-agent-nautilus
  • qubes-core-agent-dom0-updates
  • qubes-menus
  • nautilus
  • firefox-esr
  • pulseaudio-qubes
  • gedit
  • gedit-plugins

Many thanks!

It’s more related to Debian than Qubes OS, it’s an “action” an there is a package for it: Nautilus - Debian Wiki

And just in case, a friendly reminder from the docs about minimal templates:

Many thanks parulin!

The package “nautilus-open-terminal” from the Debian Wiki does not exist. But it was the right direction. Searching for this old package name I was able to find the current one.

“nautilus-extension-gnome-terminal” is the one that worked.
