I just installed Ubuntu 12.04, I am a big fan of Geany, but now i don't have the terminal at the base of the window. I have tried to change the terminal preferences, without success. any ideas?

This is because Ubuntu12 lacks libvte.so, or at least the version Geany uses to emulate the terminal. Try

sudo apt-get install libvte-dev

You can only install to enable the terminal tab: libvte9

This is basically saying the same thing as the accepted answer above, right? – Tom Brossman Oct 20 '12 at 10:30
Thanks, that helped me. In my installation (ubuntu 12.04) I had libvte-2.90-9 already installed and because of some problem I was't able to install libvte-dev. – Betlista Jan 4 at 20:36

Did You try to enable Menu-> View -> Show Message Window ? This will enable Geany bottom panel, where on left You will have "Terminal" tab ( the last one ).

Yes the message window is visable, but does not have a terminal tab. as seen here --> goo.gl/41Ihu – ahs3 May 19 '12 at 22:30
