[SOLVED]Having trouble getting gnome-terminal to work

Not really sure what I'm doing wrong but trying to use gnome-terminal in AwesomeWM.
For some odd reason that didn't work when I switched it over in the RC.lua file. I had to install the default terminal but not really liking it. I saw that maybe an issue with the locale but that wasn't it. I'm trying to see if it works executing it in xterm but that didn't open it.

gave me

# Error creating terminal: Could not activate remote peer 'org.gnome.Terminal' : startup job failed

I used the command

dbus -launch gnome terminal

I placed it in both .xinitrc and my rc.lua file. It started up gnome-terminal when I used startx and I was able to make more gnome-terminal using the command but couldn't open it up with the hot key or left-clicking it. Until I placed the same command in the rc.lua. It works but I'm confused why the command. Is there a way I can just use it normally?

Re: [SOLVED]Having trouble getting gnome-terminal to work

Don't dbus-launch anything. Ever. (Unless you know why and actually mean to)
Post your xinitrc and what command actually generated the error in your post?

Also please use [code][/code] tags.

Re: [SOLVED]Having trouble getting gnome-terminal to work

I have this running in my .xinitrc file 

#!/bin/bash
dbus-launch gnome-terminal
exec awesome

which solved the problem I was able to launch gnome-terminal but wasn't working with the hot keys or just clicking the option. I also had to put this in the .lua file which was able to fix it. But since you said that is not good. That's not good I'm using it twice then. I checked if my dbus was working it was. I was told that gnome-terminal not going to work without other things for it to run properly.

Re: [SOLVED]Having trouble getting gnome-terminal to work

Not html tags, bbs ones tongue

Your xinitrc is broken, see the last link below and what to include at least and basically never run dbus-launch (unless you actually want to run a dbus sub-session, which is … basically never)

Re: [SOLVED]Having trouble getting gnome-terminal to work

Okay pretty much fixed it copied and pasted and just exec my awesome on top. But I also included dbus-launch in my rc.lua file. Is there a way i can open it up gnome-terminal? For some reason it's not opening up in awesome, only with dbus. I can open it using the command gnome-terminal but can't if I i try with awesome

Don't.  This is never correct.
Post your updated xinitrc and the outputs of 

loginctl session-status
ps aux | grep dbus

Do you use a DM like "ly" to start the session?

Re: [SOLVED]Having trouble getting gnome-terminal to work

#!/bin/sh
exec awesome

Nothing after those two lines gets executed, the xinitrc is still broken.

You want "exec awesome" before "twm &" and then also can just a much delete the tail.
Then remove the dbus-launch stuff from your awesome config.

Re: [SOLVED]Having trouble getting gnome-terminal to work

Wow, it was that simple. I didn't know I had to place it like that. I remember seeing something like it can go on top or anywhere. That was my bad. Thank you for taking the time and helping me. This os is hard but in a fun way
