I tried using localectl to set the local to en_US.UTF-8 before rebooting, this did not fix the problem.
After rebooting, though, the problem seems to have cleared up. I don't know if the issue is that the locales were not propely generated (though I suspect not, becuase I didn't notice any issues with firefox, uxterm, or sakura) or if they weren't properly set for the gnome-terminals environment (seems more plausible). But the issue does seem to be resolved. I will probably be doing some more ubuntu installs in the near future, I will report if I encounter this bug with subsequent installs. -Fred -- 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/1578830 Title: gnome-terminal fails to launch after install of xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1578830/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
