I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, and till day before yesterday, the shortcut was working perfectly. But when today I pressed it, it didn't open terminal.
The terminal app still works. I am on GNOME3 3.4.2, and I updated recently using apt-get install gnome-shell

The Keyboard shortcuts window shows no problem - enter image description here

Pls. help, what should I do now?

This is a bug of Gnome Shell. The default shortcut will not work. But a new shortcut will work as usual.

Go to Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts. Click on + to add a new shortcut,

enter image description here

At the place of Name use Gnome terminal. In place of Command use the following string,

gnome-terminal --profile=Default --geometry=95x35+250+60

Now assign the key combination (Ctrl+Alt+T) on clicking on it. Afterwards the shortcut should work.

  • thanks for the answer, but how do I do that? I added a custom shortcut with that command, but its saying "disabled". And it didn't ask me for the accelerator for the shortcut. What do I need to do?

When you're missing your Windows task, go to Keyboard Settings and click on Shortcut Menu. Then, click Windows and select the first options or use Alt+Escape.
