gnome terminal does not open

After I login through GDM (gnome wayland session), for a while, I am able to open the terminal; but then I cannot.

This is the journalctl output during that time:

    Aug 26 14:52:30 omega1 dbus[357]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.hostname1'

It seems to suggest that it may be a locale issue. This is my `/etc/locale.conf`

    LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
    LC_NUMERIC=en_IN
    LC_TIME=en_IN
    LC_MONETARY=en_IN
    LC_PAPER=en_IN
    LC_MEASUREMENT=en_IN

Does anyone see a problem?

Re: gnome terminal does not open

Can you post the output of:

locale -a
localectl

It's also best to use code tags.

Re: gnome terminal does not open

$ localectl 
   System Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
                  LC_NUMERIC=en_IN
                  LC_TIME=en_IN
                  LC_MONETARY=en_IN
                  LC_PAPER=en_IN
                  LC_MEASUREMENT=en_IN
       VC Keymap: n/a
      X11 Layout: n/a

$ locale -a
C
en_GB.utf8
en_IN
en_IN.utf8
en_US.utf8
POSIX

fixed the other thing too!
