In my case, I had a happy, up-to-date Xenial Ubuntu installation. I decided to load the xubuntu packages too, as an alternative desktop. Switching back to regular Ubuntu later, gnome-terminal no longer works, for the above reasons.
Having determined that the problem is that DBus isn't providing correct locale information, I have used: * "sudo locale-gen --purge" * "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales" (selecting only en_GB locales that are UTF-8) * "sudo gnome-language-selector" (ditto) ...and rebooted after each, but gnome-terminal still fails with status 8 when launched from xterm. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589611 Title: gnome-terminal crash on non-utf8 locale To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1589611/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
