I recently installed Arch Linux and got the Gnome Gui working but when I tried to open the default terminal it started to load then quickly ended I looked a "solution" which said to type gnome-terminal into xterm so I did and it came up with:
(process:766): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fall back 'C' Locale.
Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/Terminal/Factory0:for calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.terminal: GDbus.error:org.freedeop.Dbus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with statu
and with I typed locale -a I got this:
Locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
and it said the same thing for LC_MESSAGES and LC_COLLATE

Please use code tags. And for the love of $DEITY, post the actual error message, don't just say it continued with "some gibberish".

I have /etc/locale.conf
# localectl set-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8" that didn't work
(Try to regenerate locales first:
# locale-gen
And then:
# localectl set-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
reboot) that didn't work
localectl set-locale didn't work
(quoting alphabeat) All you have to do is edit /etc/locale.gen(/quote) didn't work
Sorry if this is unhelpful

Really now, use them.
Then follow the wiki. There are some glaring typos in your current locale settings.

is this because its en_NZ-UTF-8 is supposed to be en_NZ.UTF-8
[EDIT]Xfce Terminal works fine but gnome-terminal doesn't[/EDIT]

Also I can access terminal as root but not as my user
PS: I have looked around Google

I guess you're out of luck then.

Rxvt-unicode works very well in GNOME -- it's better than GNOME-terminal anyway.
Set it as the default using:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec urxvtc
Then autostart the urxvt-daemon by creating a desktop file at /usr/share/gnome/autostart/rxvt-unicode-daemon:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=rxvt-unicode-daemon
Exec=urxvtd -q -f -o
Offline
When I executed the command it told me:
No Such Schema 'org.gnome.desktop.application-terminal'
[EDIT] I typed it wrong [EDIT]

... follow the wiki
You missed my sarcasm: gnome terminal could work fine - the problem is not gnome terminal, it is your locale settings. More specifically the problem is your unwillingness to actually read the wiki.
If you refuse to fix your underlying problem(s) you should consider a different distro.

Should I reboot after making the file?
