My update script via Gnome Terminal no longer works

So I wrote a bash script to update my system with pacman -Syu when I press F3, it would open Gnome Terminal and then execute pacman -Syu.  I did a system upgrade recently and I think that may have broke this.

==============
Here is the error:

[soaringowl@archlinux ~]$ /home/soaringowl/.update
[sudo] password for soaringowl: 
# posix_spawn avoided (fd close requested) 
# Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error spawning command line “dbus-launch --autolaunch=330481751d2440819cf2563df1353171 --binary-syntax --close-stderr”: Child process exited with code 1
==> no candidate packages found for pruning

===============

Here is the update shell script:

#!/bin/bash

sudo gnome-terminal -- pacman -Syu
sudo paccache -r

exit 0

===============

Here is my pacman.log:

================

Here is the output of ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg:

https://pastebin.com/45mxpbA3

================

kernel version:

[soaringowl@archlinux ~]$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 4.18.6-arch1-1-ARCH (builduser@heftig-4211) (gcc version 8.2.1 20180831 (GCC)) #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 5 11:54:09 UTC 2018

================

Thanks!

Please edit your post to add code tags.

You really shouldn't run the whole terminal as root, just run pacman with sudo.

Re: My update script via Gnome Terminal no longer works

Yes, thanks. As has been mentioned, don't run your terminal as root
