They already were.
im not sure then because i had the same issue with running both gnome-terminal and timeshift until i installed icu67
Well without knowing anything about either of your systems, no one will every find out what what’s causing the problem.
unfortunately i dont know what information to provide that would help in troubleshooting the problem
Well, how about what I asked above for starters:
$ pacman -Qi gnome-terminal icu lib32-icu | grep Version
Version : 3.38.2-1
Version : 68.2-1
Version : 68.2-1
I have the same versions installed as they are the latest available versions. Since you two are the only folks that have reported this issue, there must be something you both have in common. Perhaps an AUR package?

Probably not related, but those were dropped from the official repos to the AUR as they’re deprecated. You may find you no longer need them.
That one no longer exists. Seems it’s time for little housecleaning.
this is the output for removing orphaned packages (i haven’t run it yet)

:: Do you want to remove these packages? [Y/n]Whoah there. Some of those packages should not be orphans and were explicitly installed to begin with.
DO NOT REMOVE THEM
Put these back the way they should be:
sudo pacman -D --asexplicit gnome-session gnome-settings-daemon libgdm mutter gnome-shell
I have the same issue after updating sudo + firefox today.
Did the aforementioned procedures but the problem persists. Interesting problem as I have not touched any settings today other than running sudo pacman -Syu after coming home from work.
Gnome-terminal is looking for the version 67 of the shared object. You have version 68. This seems like partial upgrade, gnome-terminal version is not in sync with it’s dependencies. Switch mirrors and update enabling downgrades:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5
sudo pacman -Syyuuusing this :
sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5 sudo pacman -Syyuu
did not help. it says synchronising packages and then there is nothing to do
i have the same output after entering pacman -Qi gnome-terminal icu lib32-icu | grep Version
Version : 3.38.2-1
Version : 68.2-1
Version : 68.2-1
and gnome terminal still wont launch any idea on what to do ?

yeah that seems to solve the problem. Also i dont know if it is case sensitive but it seems that the loacle conf had en_us.utf8 instead of en_US.UTF-8
This solved it for me.
Hi team -
I also lost access to gnome-terminal. I’ve read through the above. Not sure what to make of it. I’m only kinda-sorta technical, but there’s the output from my system of all the requested info. Your thoughts welcome. BTW…I installed a different terminal program to generate this output.
Thx

I had the same problem today. I’m just starting at linux, don’t mess around very much. I’ve been using Ubuntu for the last 2 years and switched to Manjaro 2 weeks ago, everything was working fine. Today I updated (pacman -Syu) and my gnome terminal broke. Fortunately, this thread was already around and the solution was already shown above: update the “locale.gen”
Maybe this has been happening to other people?
Thanks to everyone who replied this and the other topic!
Hopefully if anybody else is effected, they will see this post.
OK, that’s got it. I had a weird response to running sudo edit /etc/locale.gen (blank file), so I did it with sudo vim and it’s fixed and works.
Thx
Reid
