thanks
I have recently installed a debian system: I choose C locale at the
beginning of the installation, finish system installation, reboot and
log in gnome: I cannot start any terminal, since gnome-terminal, the
only terminal installed, refuses to start! (I had to enter a text
console and install xterm to allow me to have a working terminal in gnome.)
Starting gnome-terminal inside xterm shows the following error:
Error constructing proxy for
org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling
StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached
Note there is no error status (such as "exited with status 8").
By the way, uxterm too refuses to start when locale is C, and shows an
error about locale.
A workaround is dpkg-reconfigure locales and choose a UTF-8 locale, such
as en_US.UTF-8 (I do not remember if it needs also to be made the
default or not).
This bug affects current debian installations, hence the d-i tag.
