gnome-terminal doesn't start [SOLVED]

gnome-terminal at some reason won't start. What could be the possible reasons? I've seen it's because of keymaps and Language. But, I can't find Languages at Cinnamon. How do I solve this?

My locale is:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Re: gnome-terminal doesn't start [SOLVED]

Are you using any gui (if not cinnamon)? How do you initiate it (startx, gdm .e.t.c)? If you have another terminal, can you do gnome-terminal and see if any error messages occur?
Maybe have a look at the responses to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=228399 and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/247 … le-setting
if you say you seen it because of keymaps and language, you might have some broken locales.
and if you still cant make it work, give us some log messages from /var/log (Xorg,gdm,e.t.c) for more details.

Re: gnome-terminal doesn't start [SOLVED]

Using Cinnamon and GNOME for my reasons, apparently CTRL+ALT+F2 works. I'll try running it at the terminal. Thanks.

UPDATE: Here's the error,
# Locale not supported by C Library
#             Using the fallback 'C' locale
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
# Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display:

Re: gnome-terminal doesn't start [SOLVED]

I can't post an answer from the terminal here, as it's way too long and I use CTRL+ALT+F2. But, if you insist, I'll try to post a picture here.

Don't post a picture. Use a pastebin client. See the tip box at the top of this topic:  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … in_clients


How to post. A sincere effort to use modest and proper language and grammar is a sign of respect toward the community.

Mabuhay. Can you use chroot?

As the wiki says : from "Another Linux environment, e.g. a LiveCD or USB flash media, or from another existing Linux distribution".

Re: gnome-terminal doesn't start [SOLVED]

Of course, from Pop if you want it installed,  but for live media and some other more distributions from my bank of distros I have tons of copies here. Tell me what I'd do and I'll do it.

Okay, I'll do it now.

locale -a : Here
localectl: Here

Re: gnome-terminal doesn't start [SOLVED]

You posted "localectl" twice, but not "locale -a" however you probably want to look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lo … ng_locales again.

Re: gnome-terminal doesn't start [SOLVED]

It worked, and now the locale error is gone, but now the error shows up is somehow connected to the proxy. How would I solve this one? Thanks!

Re: gnome-terminal doesn't start [SOLVED]

Are you trying to run gnome-terminal from the VT2 login?

Edit: if not and in any event: did you restart the gnome session?

Re: gnome-terminal doesn't start [SOLVED]

Sorry if I don't know what VT2 is, as much as I know, I'm running it at TTY environment.

And, no. I still didn't restart it.

EDIT: Did a reboot, and it worked! Thanks.

Re: gnome-terminal doesn't start [SOLVED]

I don't know what VT2

"CTRL+ALT+F2"

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
