Greetings folks,

Gentoo newbie here, I used it years ago but that was in another lifetime.

Launching terminal isn't working. It spins for while and then just goes away. I have emerged gnome-terminal trying to fix it but that didn't work.

From syslog
Code:

May 29 01:24:34 GentooBox dbus-daemon[26627]: [session uid=1000 pid=26625] Activated service 'org.gnome.Terminal' failed: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 8


Any assistnce would be most welcome.

Thanks for reading,
--glenn

My bad, I didn't search first, it's because the locale is not set to en_US.UTF-8

That didn't cure it, still exiting with status 8

Install another simple terminal to help you troubleshoot the problem. I'd suggest sakura for it's low dependencies and excellent competency.

Sakura works just fine.

Excellent. Now, from sakura, run gnome-terminal and you may see some helpful debugging information.
