Q: 

Run Application Command to open Terminal

Question: What command do you type in to the "Run Application" box on ubuntu to open the terminal?

Info: I'm having horrible horrible driver issues on my netbook. I might be able to solve some of these problems if I could just get to Terminal, but all I have is my keyboard, no mouse, so i need to know what command to type in to run application (Which I can get to with alt-f2) to open terminal.

Thanks,

~N

+3  A: 

The command you are looking for is:

gnome-terminal

You can also run bash, selecting "run in terminal"

Ah yes, just never thought to guess tacking "gnome" to the command. Thank you kindly.
