Public bug reported:
My system has something strange going on. I'm unable to start gnome-
terminal. In journalctl, I see the following cryptic message:
May 29 13:08:38 cerberus org.gnome.Shell.desktop[3960]: # Error
constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0:
Could not connect: Connection refused
If I then try to start it from an existing terminal, I get:
jlquinn@cerberus:~/work/lt-language-pairs$ gnome-terminal
# Error constructing proxy for :1.89:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Could not
connect: Connection refused
# Failed to use specified server: Could not connect: Connection refused
# Falling back to default server.
# Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0:
Could not connect: Connection refused
This is a somewhat important issue because it will force me to reboot my
machine (or at least GUI) due to the inability to create new terminals.
