Status in Ayatana Design: Triaged Status in Unity: Won't Fix Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Title says it all. Alt-F2 sudo apt-get update And, nothing happens. This is quite annoying. It is "Run a command" not "Run a GUI application". --------------------------------- Desired solution: - having a checkbox "run in a terminal" in an alt + F2 view. This checkbox will spawn the default application terminal and run the command there. - The fallback can be as well, for every command we don't find a desktop file for it, run in a terminal by default.
