[SOLVED] gnome-terminal does not launch.

Hello people,

After the update to 3.16 gnome-terminal does not launch. The following error message is given when launched from xterm:

Error creating terminal: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

The same error message is given when run as as root. It would be appreciated if anyone can help me resolve this.

Hi, do you have all of the gnome-terminal dependencies from official repos? I happend to have vte3 installed from aur and new gnome-terminal wasn't working with it.

Re: [SOLVED] gnome-terminal does not launch.

pacman -Qi gnome-terminal

gives vte3 as a dependency which was not installed on my system as it conflicted with vte3-text which was required by termite. So removing termite and vte3-select-text and then installing vte3 solved te problem, but this means that one cannot currently use both termite anf gnome-terminal on his/her system.

Thank you for your help.

Just bump the pkgver on vte3-text-select and rebuild the package.
