I did this >

[root@ArchLinux philip]# locale-gen

  ar_SY.ISO-8859-6... done
  en_US.UTF-8... done
  en_US.ISO-8859-1... done

[root@ArchLinux philip]#

then reboot
==========
Also I tried this

[root@ArchLinux philip]# pacman -S vte3

Re: Gnome Terminal Don't work

Read posts in that thread again, then read the wiki page: and follow the instructions there exactly.

And learn how to use code tags: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … s_and_Code

Re: Gnome Terminal Don't work

Hey, I've been bouncing this problem around a few days now and finally have it working.

The potentially relevant files edited and commands used were: (not necessarily in this order)

# # files
# /etc/locale.conf
# /etc/locale.gen
# # commands
# locale-gen
# localectl
# localectl set-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
# locale
# locale -a
# reboot

Currently, gnome-terminal is working for me. My LANG variable is C. The whole time I thought gnome required the locale to be set to "en_US.UTF-8" to [support utf-8 / function properly]. Seems I was wrong.

In the hopes that it may be useful ( and because I'm still not sure what change was the fix ), here's some info from my system with gnome-terminal now working.

[xx@lenovo-y40 ~]$ gnome-terminal
