Re: [SOLVED] Gnome Terminal error

Welcome to the arch linux forums pradhanharshil.  What is the output of the following

locale
locale -a
cat /etc/locale.conf
grep -v ^# /etc/locale.gen

Edit:
added `locale`

[harshil@archLinux ~]$ locale -a
C
POSIX
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8

[harshil@archLinux ~]$ cat /etc/locale.conf
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

grep -v ^# /etc/locale.gen
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 
en_US ISO-8859-1

locale
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC=C
LC_TIME=C
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY=C
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER=C
LC_NAME="C"

these are the outputs you asked for.

Re: [SOLVED] Gnome Terminal error

Something™ sets back the locale to C

localectl

In doubt, it's some entry in /etc/profile* or your locale profile or shell rc.

Re: [SOLVED] Gnome Terminal error

Fix it.

Or provide a lot more information about your system: like how you installed it and what is in those files (relating to locale) that seth mentioned.

You should respond to Seth's suggestions.

Also please describe how you start your X session.
