Terminal not shown in linux

Many a times we come across this isuue that TERMINAL is missing from our system or we are not able to open it.

I have done it in Ubuntu 13.04

Open xterm from the startup menu

and simply type

# sudo apt-get install gnome-terminal

for Other users of Linux versions install the Gnome-Terminal application separately from the Synaptic Package Manager or RPM.

your terminal will now work
