Q:

Ubuntu default terminal missing on 13.04

There was a problem with my Unity on Ubuntu 13.04 install in which I could not see any icons after logging in. Just a blank screen. 
Used ccsm to purge Unity, reinstalled it and reset the settings after which it worked fine. After these steps I noticed that the default Terminal icon is missing from the DASH home search. CTRL+ALT+T key sequence also does not open the terminal(even though this keyboard shortcut is already in place). 
I've reset Unity and Compiz and restarted my system, but the issue still persists.
Can't seem to find any solution in the forums. Can someone please help? Its annoying to use Xterm instead of the default Terminal.

A:

Using your xterm write those commands:
sudo apt-get remove gnome-terminal
sudo apt-get install gnome-terminal

The password is your account password and those commands will reinstall gnome-terminal, which should be the "default" terminal.
I hope it will fix.
