I can confirm that this same problem is still present in Lubuntu 13.04 with all updates available as of today (Aug 08, 2013) installed.
The only way I can workaround it was to use just lxterminal under PCManFM -> Prefernces -> Advanced. The previously suggested -e and/or %s results in just an open, inactive terminal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/975152 Title: Execute in terminal not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm/+bug/975152/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
