[Solved] Gnome-Terminal Not Working

Satanic Command Line · 2015-01-06 23:48:16

I recently installed Arch Linux and got the Gnome Gui working but when I tried to open the default terminal it started to load then quickly ended I looked a "solution" which said to type gnome-terminal into xterm so I did and it came up with:

 (process:766): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fall back 'C' Locale.
Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/Terminal/Factory0:for calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.terminal: GDbus.error:org.freedeop.Dbus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with statu

and with I typed locale -a I got this:
Locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
and it said the same thing for LC_MESSAGES and LC_COLLATE

Please use code tags. And for the love of $DEITY, post the actual error message, don't just say it continued with "some gibberish".

code tags?

(continued from 'and') : GDbus.error:org.freedeop.Dbus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with statu

Easily found instead of a question.

Sadly none of the solutions made a difference

Kopkins · 2015-01-07 06:04:28

What is the output of `locale`?

I have /etc/locale.conf

# localectl set-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8" that didn't work

(Try to regenerate locales first:
# locale-gen
And then:
# localectl set-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
reboot) that didn't work

localectl set-locale didn't work

(quoting alphabeat) All you have to do is edit /etc/locale.gen(/quote) didn't work

Sorry if this is unhelpful

Really now, use them.

Then follow the wiki. There are some glaring typos in your current locale settings.

Satanic Command Line · 2015-01-07 20:40:03

is this because its en_NZ-UTF-8 is supposed to be en_NZ.UTF-8

$ env LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8

 Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.terminal with status 8

Also I can access terminal as root but not as my user
PS: I have looked around Google

I guess you're out of luck then.

Satanic Command Line · 2015-01-07 21:35:49

Thanks for the help anyway

Rxvt-unicode works very well in GNOME -- it's better than GNOME-terminal anyway.

Set it as the default using:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec urxvtc

Then autostart the urxvt-daemon by creating a desktop file at /usr/share/gnome/autostart/rxvt-unicode-daemon:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=rxvt-unicode-daemon
Exec=urxvtd -q -f -o

Satanic Command Line · 2015-01-07 21:58:12

When I executed the command it told me:

 No Such Schema 'org.gnome.desktop.application-terminal'

[EDIT] I typed it wrong [EDIT]

You missed my sarcasm: gnome terminal could work fine - the problem is not gnome terminal, it is your locale settings. More specifically the problem is your unwillingness to actually read the wiki.

If you refuse to fix your underlying problem(s) you should consider a different distro.

Satanic Command Line · 2015-01-07 22:13:27

Should I reboot after making the file?

I fixed the issue
apparently gnome-terminal doesn't like en_NZ.UTF-8
