Public bug reported:
1) Install Ubuntu 18.04 via debbootstrap (following instructions at
https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Ubuntu-18.04-Root-on-ZFS)
2) install ubuntu-desktop (`apt install ubuntu0desktop`)
3) reboot.
Content of /etc/default/locale is one line "LANG=en_US"
Consequence of this is that an xterm will not start resulting in following
errors in /var/log/syslog

Tracking down the cause of the error indicated missing entry in
/etc/default/locale. Adding the following solved problem:
hbarta@saugage:~$ cat /etc/default/locale
# File generated by update-locale
LANG=en_US
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
hbarta@saugage:/var/log$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Release: 18.04
When I ran `dpkg-reconfigure locales` I selected en_US for the default
locale.
