If I try to run gnome-terminal as root, it works.
This may be caused by a non-unicode locale, see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=180103 for example. 1. Make sure /etc/locale.gen contains a utf8 version for any language. For example, if you have de_DE.something there, you need to have de_DE.utf8. After changing locale.gen, re-run /usr/sbin/locale-gen 2. Use "eselect locale" to select a system utf8 locale; 3. edit /etc/locale.conf, it needs to contain one line, LANG=$SYSTEM_UTF8_LOCALE (for example LANG=en_US.UTF-8 on my machine); 4. in gnome, control panel → region & language, make sure the language selected for your user has utf8 support in locale.gen; 5. if you are setting LANG in your .bashrc or .bash_profile, make sure to use a utf8 locale name there; 6. log out, log in.
I can login with KDE-konsole as user rose, then I see the following: sh-4.3$ cat /etc/locale.conf LANG="en_US.UTF-8" h-4.3$ eselect locale list Available targets for the LANG variable: [1] C [2] POSIX [3] de_DE [4] de_DE.iso88591 [5] de_DE.iso885915@euro [6] de_DE.utf8 [7] de_DE@euro [8] deutsch [9] en_US [10] en_US.iso88591 [11] en_US.iso885915 [12] en_US.utf8 [13] fr_FR [14] fr_FR.iso88591 [15] fr_FR.iso885915@euro [16] fr_FR@euro [17] français [18] french [19] german [20] ru_RU.cp1251 [21] ru_RU.koi8r [22] ru_RU.utf8 [23] en_US.UTF-8 * [ ] (free form) sh-4.3$ env | grep LANG LANG=en_US.UTF-8 GDM_LANG=en_US.utf8 CSF_LANGUAGE=us LANGUAGE= [1]+ Done emacs scripts/gconf_sorted_list.sh sh-4.3$ env | grep LANG LANG=en_US.UTF-8 GDM_LANG=en_US.utf8 CSF_LANGUAGE=us LANGUAGE= sh-4.3$ sh-4.3$ id uid=1203(rose) gid=1000(rose) groups=1000(rose),4(adm),6(disk),7(lp),10(wheel),14(uucp),18(audio),19(cdrom),27(video),35(games),60(mysql),85(usb),100(users),102(davfs2),245(locate),250(portage),1004(plugdev),1010(vboxusers),1013(wireshark),1016(qemu),1020(kvm),1212(nwaccess),1217(tuntap),1223(pgrimaging) So everything, what I have, is en_US.UTF-8.
(In reply to Juergen Rose from comment #3) > I can login with KDE-konsole as user rose, then I see the following: Thanks. One more thing to check is whether the value of LANG in bash is different from the value of LANG in the gnome-shell process. (There may be a difference due to .bashrc/.bash_profile) So (assuming this is happening in gnome-shell) please do this: sed /proc/$(pidof gnome-shell)/environ -e 's/\x0/\n/g' | grep -E 'LANG|LC'
sh-4.3$ sed /proc/$(pidof gnome-shell)/environ -e 's/\x0/\n/g' | grep -E 'LANG|LC' LC_ALL=C MAILCHECK=30 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 GDM_LANG=en_US.utf8 CSF_LANGUAGE=us sh-4.3$

This ANSI_X3.4-1968 is corresponding the following journalctl not > supported. What should I do? Click on "Unspecified" and choose a language from the popup list. Then log out and log in. "ANSI_X3.4-1968" means ASCII, so it seems that for some reason gnome was choosing ASCII locale instead of en_US.UTF-8 that was specified in LANG. Don't know why :/
If I go Controll-center -> Region & Language, click to the line "Language Unspeciefied [ANSI_X3.4-1968]" I get a menu with the entries Deutsch English russkii (in kyrillic letters) ... I select English -> Done. I get the message: Your session needs to be restarted for changes to take effect. I click on "Restart Now". The session is restarted. I login again, but nothing is changed. I can't start gnome-terminal and I have the same settings in the controll-center.
After removing the attached .xprofile I have now in the control-center "Language English" and I can start gnome-terminal.
Created attachment 402592 [details] .xprofile
(In reply to Juergen Rose from comment #11) > Created attachment 402592 [details] > .xprofile where does that .xprofile really come from? From my point of view this bug would be INVALID, we cannot pretend upstream to re-fix the locales again after they are randomly redifined by the user with scripts like this :|
*** Bug 570290 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Got it too. I don't have the .xprofile file but I do have this in journalctl: Jan 06 08:55:12 exos dbus-daemon[561]: Activating service name='org.gnome.Terminal' Jan 06 08:55:12 exos org.gnome.Terminal[561]: Non UTF-8 locale (ANSI_X3.4-1968) is not supported! Jan 06 08:55:12 exos dbus-daemon[561]: Activated service 'org.gnome.Terminal' failed: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited Still trying to figure out why gnome-term thinks I have a non-UTF8 locale (running in xterm): $ locale LANG=fr_FR.utf8 LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.utf8" LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR.utf8 LC_TIME=fr_FR.utf8 LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.utf8" LC_MONETARY=fr_FR.utf8 LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.utf8" LC_PAPER=fr_FR.utf8 LC_NAME="fr_FR.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_FR.utf8 LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.utf8" LC_ALL= $ locale -a C en_US.utf8 fr_FR.utf8 POSIX
So in my case, /etc/locale.conf was empty (though I had set /etc/env.d/02locale as per the handbook, a long time ago). Running localectl fixed it. Now as to why it broke now, my only explanation is the upgrade from dbus 1.8 to 1.10. That's the only relevant package I upgraded recently. Not quite sure what should be done with this bug. Cheers

The only note is that, in my case, I have /etc/env.d/02locale as a symlink to /etc/locale.conf, while you looked to have the opposite, right? Maybe that would explain why the "migrate_locale" logic in systemd ebuilds didn't warn you about that
(Regarding the original problem about gnome-terminal not starting in non-utf8 locales, that is known -> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732127 )
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #16) > In my case dbus update didn't break anything.

But I'm 99% certain I didn't have any symlinks at all before. IIRC, locale.conf had 3 or 4 lines of comment, mentioning "eselect locale". 02locale had only one line with LANG="en_US.utf8" > Maybe that would explain why the > "migrate_locale" logic in systemd ebuilds didn't warn you about that # qlop -l systemd | tail -n1 Mon Nov 30 01:44:40 2015 >>> sys-apps/systemd-228-r1 It's been a while, maybe I missed the message back then. Cheers
I don't think we can do much more. The original problem (gnome-terminal not working on nonUTF8 setups) is an upstream problem The breakage with locales... well, if you can discover how to make it break, you could probably open a bug against sys-apps/systemd product to improve its ebuild logic and cover that case too :/
