[SOLVED] Unable to Open Terminal from GNOME/Files

raptorPad · 2017-07-23 17:05:25

Hi, I am new to arch and I am using Gnome 3.24.2. I'm having a problem that when I click Open in Terminal from the Nautilus it remains unresponsive. when running nautilus from the terminal, Files open(pops up) and when Open in Terminal is selected from the options in right click menu the following error is shown.

$ nautilus
Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached

Also when I try to open Gnome/Files from terminal by executing gnome-terminal nothing happens and I got the following error message

$ gnome-terminal
Warning: DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID not set and no fallback available.
Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached

I have generated the locales the following are some outputs showing my locale.

$ localectl status
   System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: us
      X11 Layout: us

$ locale             # I found this output as an odd one...why all keys = "C" 
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=

What I want is to open terminal from the Gnome/File (i.e. terminal with current directory of the Gnome/File). Any help will be greatly appretiated.

Thanks in advance
:)

Is your hostname set correctly?

How do you start X?

Does it work correctly if you use Gnome settings to set your language?

Appologies for delayed response.

The host name is set correctly.

$ hostname
raptorPad

I think i am using wayland.

$ loginctl show-session c1 -p Type
Type=wayland

I tried changing gnome settings but resulted in error. I hope fixing this will solve my problem.

$ gsettings get org.gnome.system.locale region 'en_US.UTF-8'
Usage:
  gsettings [--schemadir SCHEMADIR] get SCHEMA[:PATH] KEY

Get the value of KEY

Arguments:
  SCHEMADIR A directory to search for additional schemas
  SCHEMA    The name of the schema
  PATH      The path, for relocatable schemas
  KEY       The key within the schema

Any idea to set this ?

Thanks slithery for your response.

I meant to use the graphical Gnome settings application.

How do you start Gnome - do you use a DM (if so, which one) or do you launch it from a console.

The language wasn't set properly in gnome settings and executing the below command solved it.

gsettings set org.gnome.system.locale region "en_US.UTF-8"

Now I can open terminal from file manager.
Thank you so much for helping me solve this issue. :)
