From: Leonardo Sandoval <leonardo.sandoval.gonza...@linux.intel.com> Recent versions of gnome-terminal does not support non-UTF8 charset: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732127 as a result, devshell and menuconfig tasks silently hang (error found on trace log of 'strace -f -v -s 8192 -e write=2 bitbake -c devshell quilt-native': "Non UTF-8 locale (ANSI_X3.4-1968) is not supported!"). As a workaround, clearing the LC_ALL environment variable so it uses the locale. Once fixed on the gnome-terminal project, this should be removed.
