[Gnome 3.2 && Nautilus] nautilus-open-terminal not working

Hi everybody,

I am on a fresh install using testing and Gnome 3.2. I tried to get nautilus-open-terminal working but I failed miserably. The package from extra "is not recognized" by Nautilus (that means that I do not get a open terminal menu in Nautilus itself). I tried recompiling it and now it shows in Nautilus, but if I click on open terminal here I get no terminal. Running Nautilus from command line yields:

alessandro at alessandro-thinky in ~ 
$ LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 nautilus
Initializing nautilus-open-terminal extension
Failed to parse arguments: Unknown option -c

I have tried to search into the source code for a "-c", the only one I found is in eel-gnome-extensions.c and is a "/bin/sh -c", that seems legit.

Any suggestions? Does it work for you?
Cheers,
Alessandro

Use nautilus-open-terminal-git from AUR. It works fine.

Use nautilus-open-terminal-git from AUR. It works fine.

Nope Getting the same error also using the Git version. What am I missing?

I have no idea. It wasn't working until I installed the Git version. Try to remove both versions and install the Git version again.

Thanks very much for the help, but no luck with that. Do you mind telling me if you are using Gnome Terminal or other emulators? I had to set Gnome Terminal as the default terminal under gconf to be able to assign a shortcut to it. Maybe that made havok.

I am open for other suggestions

It seems that the culprit on my laptop is really that /bin/sh -c. It has some problems with escape, at least I think so (and I might be completely wrong). I am tinkering with it to see if I can get it to work.

While I am at it, can somebody tell me why

/bin/sh -c "cd /home/alessandro/Documenti"

fails silently and I am left in my home directory instead of changing to "Documenti" (which exists)?

EDIT-Two: The last question is badly answered by me noting that the cd is run inside the script, not in the current terminal

EDIT: @wonder, I saw you uploaded a new nautilus-open-terminal on testing. I am still getting the same error of the fist post with the testing version. Am I the only one?
