Somebody mentioned alt+f2 by a previous post. This seemingly opens a
GNOME "run dialoge". Did you try launching it that way? If so,
isn't there anything in .xsession-errors?  You don't have at least xterm
or something similar installed? Simply run another terminal and launch
gnome-terminal by command line from this other terminal and post the
output.

Hi,

the output of

  less ~/.xsession-errors

should provide the same or at least similar output, as launching
gnome-terminal from command line. Much unlikely that journalctl does
contain any user session related logs of the kind you want to get.

If you are using some GNOME launcher, are you using a launcher
dedicated for gnome-terminal or is it a launcher trying to open a
"preferred" terminal?

Regards,
Ralf

Hi,

This morning I tried to reinstall gnome terminal and got no dice.  I wonder if 
something like mate-terminal might work, but not really good with advance 
stuff.  So it is deffennetly very strange since it just stoped working rite out 
of the blue.  Oh well.

Hi Matthew,

I'd try to go to a virtual console (usually Ctrl+Alt+FN, N = 1..12, F1
is probably your desktop environment) and use journalctl[1] to find some
logs related to gnome-terminal. Also having access to a command line you
can install some other terminal emulator[2] to be able debug issues from
your graphical environment. Running gnome-terminal from a terminal
emulator (not from virtual console) should give you a pretty good idea
what is going wrong.

Also you can press alt+f2, type gnome-terminal and press the enter key 
to launch terminal.

Is gnome-terminal package installed in your system? You can verify that in
CLI by running the command "pacman -Q gnome-terminal"
