Bug#746415: gnome-terminal: will not start with non-utf-8 locale
Hi, all. I can confirm this also happens with gnome-terminal 3.20.2-4. Best, Leandro
Bug#746415: gnome-terminal: will not start with non-utf-8 locale
I had similar issue: $ gnome-terminal (process:2410): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale.Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 8 I was unable to fix it with `dpkg-reconfigure locales` or `localectl`. I noticed that LC_ALL was unset so I added it to /etc/default/locale. $ cat /etc/default/locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 Gnome terminal works now (after restart).

Package: gnome-terminal Version: 3.12.3-2 Followup-For: Bug #746415 i'm seeing the same error where gnome-terminal refuses to start in a non-UTF-8 locale. In fact, on a machine that doesn't even have the locales package installed, i can install gnome-terminal. This suggests to me that there is (at least) a missing dependency (gnome-terminal Depends: locales) and that gnome-terminal should also produce a warning dialog box giving the user some clue rather than silently terminating. --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.14-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-terminal depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.20.0-2 ii gconf-service3.2.6-3 ii gnome-terminal-data 3.12.3-2 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas3.12.2-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.12.0-1 ii libc62.19-10 ii libcairo-gobject21.12.16-3 ii libcairo21.12.16-3 ii libdconf10.20.0-2 ii libgconf-2-4 3.2.6-3 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.30.8-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.40.0-5 ii libgtk-3-0 3.12.2-3+b1 ii libnautilus-extension1a 3.12.2-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.6-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.6-1 ii libuuid1 2.20.1-5.8 ii libvte-2.90-91:0.36.3-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 Versions of packages gnome-terminal recommends: ii dbus-x11 1.8.6-2 ii gvfs 1.20.3-1 ii yelp 3.12.0-1 gnome-terminal suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#746415: gnome-terminal: will not start with non-utf-8 locale [solved]
Package: gnome-terminal Followup-For: Bug #746415 Dear Maintainer, I just solved my problem by running 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' and - that looks to me the part which made the difference! - by asking the system to set en_US.UTF-8 as default value (it_IT.UTF-8 is also available - of course that means the row 'LANG=en_US.UTF-8' is added to '/etc/default/locale'). A system reboot seems to be another necessary part (the very last one!) of the solution. After those steps, once I run the command 'locale' under my user I get a lot of en_US.UTF-8 while, before that, I got either empy lines or Cvalues... and, finally, gnome-terminal starts once again as it used to do in the past. Thanks to the suggestion from 'http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10t=58860'. I do hope this helps others.

Bug#746415: gnome-terminal: will not start with non-utf-8 locale
Just one more data to clarify the really strange behaviour of my G-T installation: I do not have any non-UTF locale, as you can see from the output of localectl list-locales: C.UTF-8 en_US.utf8 it_IT.utf8 HTH, Maurizio. PS What is the relationship between G-T and G-T-S? I think I usually run G-T only: does it rely on G-T-S underneath?

Bug#746415: gnome-terminal: will not start with non-utf-8 locale
Package: gnome-terminal Version: 3.12.0-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, After I updated gnome-terminal from 3.10.1-1 to 3.12.0-2, it refused to start. $ gnome-terminal Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 1 $ /usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server Non UTF-8 locale is not supported! Even if this is the intended behaviour, silently breaking does not seem very user-friendly. And I would certainly prefer to keep using my non-utf-8 locale (because I have latin1-encoded filenames). At the moment that means I have to use another terminal emulator.
