Well I pretty much stopped using gnome-terminal (due to this bug) so
I've not been spotting changes.
The symptoms seem to be the same, I guess the root cause may be different.
$ gnome-terminal --version
# GNOME Terminal 3.30.2 using VTE 0.54.2 +GNUTLS
$ dpkg-query -l gnome-terminal
WARNING: terminal is not fully functional

ii gnome-terminal 3.30.2-2 amd64 GNOME terminal emulator
application
Behaviour seems similar to the original post :
$ env | grep LANG
LANG=C
(this is reduced from before)
$ id
uid=1001(guest) gid=1001(guest) groups=1001(guest)
(Just for MY reference, running these as guest)
$ gnome-terminal
# Error constructing proxy for
org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling
StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached
$
...only the debug is no longer appearing (I assume due to
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-terminal/-/issues/42 getting fixed? )
Following this I tried:
$ export LC_ALL=en_GB.utf8
graeme@real:~$ locale
LANG=en_GB.utf8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ALL=en_GB.utf8
graeme@real:~$ gnome-terminal
# Error constructing proxy for
org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling
StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached
Previously I assume it worked with a UTF8 based locale (from the context)
