Gnome-terminal start error

When I execute the command "screenfetch" in gnome-terminal, try to open the terminal again, the terminal will not run; if you open the gnome-terminal on the other terminal, just can open it; The most strange thing is: after a few hours of opening the computer, the terminal will automatically be unable to open, this time with other terminals open Gnome terminal will prompt

Constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0 Error

I tried locale-gen, and changed the en.US.UTF-8 into locale, re install gnome-terminal and common methods on the network, but this does not work, because I do not seem to be the same as others.

Could you please give me some advice? Thank you very much.

Welcome to Arch Linux.  Google's first hit on that error was a link back to these forums.  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=180103
Is your Locale set properly?

thank you very much for your reply
I have tried this method
I locale is correct
But I do not think because of this reason
Because I found at least five people and my situation is the same in other forums, we are updated after the system was unable to open the terminal after execution screenfetch
So I think this may be a bug in the update arch

Re: Gnome-terminal start error

Workaround for the crashing issue: Downgrade gnome-session to 3.20.1-1. I can now run screenfetch and open new terminal windows.

Yes, this is a bug I provide feedback
But because my system is a new installation, there is no old version of the package, but the current interim solutions available to replace bash to zsh or execute "/usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server” at the other terminal

You can get the old package in the Arch Linux Archive: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_Archive

Re: Gnome-terminal start error

Found another work around. Edit /usr/bin/screenfetch to comment out the following lines:

LANG=C
LANGUAGE=C
LC_ALL=C

Thanks for your help, now the terminal may work fine!
However, in executing the screenfetch make gnome assembly into English
