Hi guys this is my very first Topic on the internet
so today I update my packages and after that my gnome-terminal won’t open!!!
is not opening at all, I reboot the system even shutdown it but nothing has changed!
please help me, what should i do ?
Hi and welcome to the forum
You probably need to set your language again the the Manjaro settings manager, see announcement. If you are having trouble please report what kind so we can help you further
You should follow this.
Install one terminal for temporary use from add-or-remove software.
(i used vscode terminal since i had initially)
- Run: gedit /etc/locale.gen and uncomment en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
- Run: sudo locale-gen
- That’s it ! You should be able to open gnome-terminal now.
Please search before posting, there are already plenty of threads about this.
See:
Having the exact same issue here as well but checking /etc I only see a file locale.conf - no locale.gen
Is this the same file?
UPDATE:
this is the content of the file locale.conf
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
Solution from the release announcement:
- Go to Manjaro Settings,
- Add your language back in the regional settings,
- Log off / log in
But check out the link Yochanan posted for more info about locale and what manual steps you can take.
Thanks a lot, its work on me
I did the same thing you said but it didn’t work!!! still not opening
I set up all my things in vscode terminal, and uncomment en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
I don’t know what should I do, maybe i should delete Manjaro and reinstall it again.
oh by the way when i write gnome-terminal in the vscode terminal say this:
Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback ‘C’ locale.
No need to reinstall, have you run this command in a terminal and what does it say?
sudo locale-gen
Usually xterm is part of the base gnome image if this command is unsuccessful from your normal terminal.
yes and said:
Generating locales…
en_US.UTF-8… done
Generation complete.
but still not working even after reboot
hmm, you might have run into this bug? I’ve never used vscode so can’t help you solve this.
Edit: Found this link to with a possible solution.
Wow! It felt just like magic. I had PyCharm at hand and used its terminal, followed your steps and voilà! Terminal is alive again! Thanks!
I did it but it didn’t work then I have to go to the settings and change the language & format that’s it. It’s working now. It has some issues while installing for the first time.
Thanks, that was what worked for me too.
Had this problem as well and I was seriously thinking of restoring an old timeshift backup but then I found the solution provided by @Hanzel and now I can use the terminal again. Won’t have to worry should this happen again. Thanks.
manjaro-settings-manager → locale settings → add → insert language and Territory
this help you to fix your terminal
Thanks, that was what worked for me
