I was installing a file from the terminal and then hit F12 to minimize the terminal so I could get access to a text file. After I obtained the needed information, I hit F12 but the terminal wouldn't appear. The top bar said Terminator but no matter what I did it wouldn't visually appear. I ended up having to open another instance of the terminal reboot and not make that mistake again.

Is there a way to get the terminal to appear in a situation like this?

You could have simply killed the process like so... (often useful)

sudo pkill -9 terminator

Back to the terminator problem... Did you right click on it to try to maximize it, did you accidently use roll-up instead? (roll-up has gotten me)

  • I didn't want to kill it since I had something running. I went to the options and put it on full screen and it didn't show. What is roll up? How do you turn it on and off so I can test to see if that was the issue.

Very useful to unmark the "Hide from taskbar" option. Allows to gain access to your terminal from taskbar or tasklist when F12 pressed and Terminator doesn't show up.
