[solved] gnome terminal will not open

this is the error I got when opening in xterm

# _g_io_module_get_default: Found default implementation gvfs (GDaemonVfs) for ‘gio-vfs’
# Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached

I made sure my hostname was set like lie link below told me but didnt think it would work cuz an update fixed it.

Post your locale.conf

Re: [solved] gnome terminal will not open

this is more of a note to myself  every time I need to come make here so I figure Ill just put what works for me. instead of googling and know im just doing same thing over and over. I hope this helps some on else.

 localectl --no-convert set-x11-keymap us 

 localectl set-keymap --no-convert us 

localectl set-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

 reboot 

P.S. make sure to set your location ether in terminal becuase I remember  something happened when I forgot to once.
