Well, I wanted to make a nautilus script (<a href="http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/faq.php">like these</a>) so that I could right-click on any ruby file and run it through the ruby interpreter. I ended up getting it to work via the two solutions mentioned, so it's not really a problem for me any more.
The only problem here is that because I'm new to Linux I ended up spending several frustrated hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, when it was a bug all along. I bet this has tripped up others as well. -- gnome-terminal with --command option fails after first time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157266 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
