Package: gnome-terminal Followup-For: Bug #750607 Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** hello friends, the problem was not terminal related, but non libc compatible locales were defined in gnome. i have installed another terminal app, evilvte and run locale inside it. here i discovered the locale was incorrect: en_US.utf8. by brute force (grep -r "en_US\.utf8" in $HOME), i found ~/.dmrc and dconf. in the dconf-editor, ctrl+f helped me find the string. ~/.dmrc is smaller. fixing that and re-login, gnome terminal is back. hope that would help, alex *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gnome-terminal depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.24.0-2 ii gconf-service 3.2.6-3 ii gnome-terminal-data 3.18.0-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.18.0-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.16.0-2 ii libc6 2.19-22 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.14.2-2 ii libcairo2 1.14.2-2 ii libdconf1 0.24.0-2 ii libgconf-2-4 3.2.6-3 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.32.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.44.1-1.1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.16.6-1 ii libnautilus-extension1a 3.14.2-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libuuid1 2.27-3 ii libvte-2.91-0 0.42.0-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 Versions of packages gnome-terminal recommends: ii dbus-x11 1.10.0-3 ii gvfs 1.24.2-1 ii yelp 3.16.1-1 gnome-terminal suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
