The problem is that gnome-terminal-server
is not starting:
root@hpre:~# locate gnome-terminal-server
/usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server
the reason is that LANG or LC and/or LC_ALL are defined badly. The
question is *where* are these variables ill-defined. locally or globally.
One quick thing to do is create a new user and see if Gnome-terminal will
start there. If it does, then the problem is with your account
definitions. (e.g. .bashrc or .profile )
what I would suggest is:
egrep 'LANG|LC[_=]' .??* 2> /dev/null | less
check the output...
other places to look for global causes are /etc/default/locale, /etc/rc ,
/etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile*
