Re: gnome-terminal Locale not supported by C library

Can we see

systemctl --user --no-p show-environment

Also share which desktop you are using and exactly how you are starting it.

EDIT: typo.

Re: gnome-terminal Locale not supported by C library

You have multiple es_ES locale references but no locale generated for them, you might want to be doing so.

Re: gnome-terminal Locale not supported by C library

If the use of es_ES.UTF-8 is desired, you'll have to generate that locale.
gnome-terminal's behavior is rather peculiar, but normal (by gnome standards)
