[SOLVED] Gnome-terminal stop working after update to Gnome-3.28

Hello community.

Probably a very naive issue, related to the one described in this forum post . However I already tried what is described there and it didn't work for me.

The issue: gnome-terminal crashes with the following error message:

[rpanades@myZbook ~]$ gnome-terminal -v
# Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached

Since this seems to be related with locale configurations:

[rpanades@myZbook ~]$ localectl
  System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: n/a
       X11 Layout: n/a

[rpanades@myZbook ~]$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Would you please give any suggestion about what is happening here? Thanks a lot in advance.

It seems problem with vte3-ng package (https://github.com/thestinger/vte-ng/issues/25). You can Install vte3 instead vte3-ng and check.

Et voilà! This solves the problem (or at least is a good workaround). Thanks a lot.
