[sovled] gnome3.12 locale issue, cannot open gnome-terminal

I update gnome from 3.10 to 3.12, everything works fine except that I cannot open gnome-terminal, the error message shows
(process:2410): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 1.
The other problem is that I cannot start fcitx(I use it to input chinese) either, there is somethings wrong in my locale, when I type 'locale ' it shows
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

I try to reinstall the glibc or regenerate the locale-gen, but none of them solve the problem,  so can anyone help me? thanks.

I have resolved this issue. The reason I guess is also "locale"
"$localectl" output "System Locale: n/a" and I check the /etc/locale.conf I found this file is lost.
So after I press below command and reboot the machine, gnome-terminal could be started.
# localectl set-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
Thanks all!

    How do I resolve the issue Cannot open the file ".indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing , or the file may be open in another application?

    Shouldn't the CC version be able to open any file created in an older version on InDesign?
    Yes, it ought to.
    If the older file wasn't yours (if someone emailed it to you,or burned it on a disc, or whatever), then I am almost willing to bet you a beverage in the city of your choice that it's not a complete InDesign file. That is, maybe it was zipped and renamed, or the beginning or end of the file was chopped off during download, or something like that. The only reason I'm not actually making the bet is that there is a remote chance that I'd lose, and maybe you're in Adelaide or Khabarovsk or somewhere where the cost of airfare to me would make that bet a very expensive bet for me to to lose. So no latte for you if I'm wrong!
    The script that Jongware posted will tell you what version of InDesign made the file to begin with. Additionally, if someone did something like rename YourFile.PDF to YourFIle.INDD, it'll report that it's Not An InDesign File. Because while SpectrumPCS is kinda right and that message can be generated when attempting to open a CS5 file in CS3 or whatever, it also spits out the same message when you just try to open an Autocad file, or a Windows system file, or a PDF, or any file that InDesign actually cannot open at all.

  • Forms9i: Cannot open Oracle*Terminal file: fmrweb.

    Hi there,
    Anyone who knows what to do about the error message "Cannot open Oracle*Terminal file: fmrweb" when trying to compile and run a form in Forms9i ?? I have found a few files named fmrweb*.* in the D:\OraHome\Forms90 directory. What can I do ???
    Thanks for your help.
    Cheers ...Jesper ( [email protected] )

    hi jesper,
    U must have been working with forms either design or run mode.
    U have to close the application before oracle terminal can be effective.
    restart forms desgin/run mode after u have registered the changes made in the oracle terminal file.

  • Gnome 3.12 cannot launch gnome-terminal with sudo

    I am suffering from a problem that seems similar to the thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=180103 and https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1402702 but since they are marked solved I am opening my own.
    My real problem is I use this encrypted USB stick called an ironkey. Without going into too much detail, in order to unlock the encrypted partition on it I need to run an executable on it, typically like this:
    sudo /run/media/ccooper/IronKey/linux/ironkey
    I am getting the error
    Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 1
    The ironkey launcher for some reason spawns a new terminal to ask for my passphrase, which is the problem.
    I have narrowed it down to just being unable to launch gnome-terminal with sudo or as root.
    So in summary, i can launch a gnome-terminal as my normal user, but not with sudo. I also cannot sudo -i and launch a gnome-terminal either.
    I have run the localectl and localegen commands, as described as the "fix" but they do not help me.
    # localectl
    System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
    VC Keymap: n/a
    X11 Layout: n/a

    Thanks for the reply OOO, I'm just about to open bug for gnome (did a break for lunch )
    Are you still suffering from the issue?
    can you please provide some details, for example your gnome version and if you have gnome-screensaver and or xscreensaver installed and or activated?
    are you using GDM or lightDM?
    I noticed from: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME that the display manager has role in the locking/screesaver mechanism:
    Note: Native support for screenlocking in GNOME is provided by GDM. If you choose to not use GDM you will need to use a different screen locking program such as XScreenSaver.
    about your say for Antergos,
    I would like to direct you to: distrowatch
    Antergos using standart arch and AUR packages (managed by packman), I would say that Antergos is arch, just with graphical installer..
    If you think that it's not arch, we can continue and argue about this fact, but I would like to concentrate on trying to understand and resolve the "blank screen" issue (that I believe is actually a gnome issue )
    opened: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737256
    please add your info there as well.
    Thanks,

  • [SOLVED] cannot run gnome-terminal or rxvt

    I am running Arch 64 with GNOME. Every time that I try to run gnome-terminal, it simply flashes for a split second and disappears. it does not seem that rxvt is even invoked when I click on it, and I am not sure how to proceed.
    Here is what I have done:
    1.The problem started when I got openbox under GNOME up and running. I thought that openbox did something odd, so I removed it. (I don't think a window manager would damage applications, but I'm kinda knew to swapping them around)
    2. I went ahead and got metacity running again.
    3. I reinstalled GNOME.
    4. I double checked previous forum posts, and I indeed have a default shell (now zsh, see below)
    5. I went ahead and installed zsh. It works just fine in tty, and 'echo #SHELL' properly returns '/bin/zsh'
    Ideas?

    The only problem is with terminals; all other applications in X work fine. I don't think it is a driver problem since the terminal only began to misbehave after I installed/uninstalled openbox. I am not sure where to look for error messages; is there some logfile I can check?
    I think kazuo is on to something.
    DISPLAY=:0 gnome-terminal
    has the output (in tty1)
    Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyFailed to parse arguments: Cannot open display:
    UPDATE : The install I had was pretty fresh anyway, so I just reformatted. Therefore, no more problem.

  • Mail issues, cannot open or close

    I cannot open my mailbox. I click on the stamp with the eagle on it, and on gray bar where things open up it says "mail", but i cannot write or read messages, and i cannot quit the application. No content is shown, no emails or anything. It is just my computer background. I tried to quit mail, but it will not let me do that. I cannot restart my computer, because mail is not closed. So if mail will not fully open, yet it is open enough to not be able to restart my computer without quitting, but there is no quit option and the commandQ button is not working ,how do i go about getting rid of this problem??

    You seem to have some serious flaws on your harddisk.
    Do you ever run maintenance software (e.g.
    MacJanitor) or switch off your Mac every day? It's
    doing some maintenance by itself in the middle of the
    night if you leave it on.
    This reply gets more & more detailed, just begin with
    the first instructions and see of that helps. If not,
    work down the list of suggestions or post back for
    more instructions.
    Run Disk Utility - Repair Permissions and if that
    brings up a whole set of issues, try something more
    serious like Disk Warrior.
    MacJanitor (free)
    DiskWarrior
    (not free)
    If you want more details on these problems, have a
    look here for
    Resolving Disk, Permission and Cache Corruption,
    it gives you a comprehensive description of how to
    deal with these problems. Plus some notes on side effects of cache cleaning
    Useful Cache cleaning programs:
    Cache Out X free
    Tiger Cache Cleaner not free
    OnyX
    free
    Thank you for your very prompt reply. I will follow your suggestions and post back. No, I do not use any other programme such as you have suggested. I usually put my computer to sleep overnight.
    However, maybe I have discoverd a clue. When I opened e-mail Back Up just now, I got a message:
    "Please finish editing and close the editing window before openiong a back up."
    I fear I may have been working on an e-mail while thye Back Up was in progress. Coulod this have been a cause?
    I also note that my back up programme dialogue box now tells me that there are no scheduled back ups for e-mail or for my home folder. I hesitate to instruct it to continue with back ups until I find out whatt the problem is.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

  • OBIEE Dev VM Install Issue:Cannot open archive "ARCHIVE.zip" as archive

    All,
    I downloaded all eleven files for the OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 - Sample Application (V207).
    I checked the MD5 Sum of the first two files and the MD5 Sums match, however when I use 7zip to extract the files, I get an error that says: Cannot open archive "ARCHIVE.zip" as archive
    Has anyone encountered this issue? I verified that the files are not read-only and that they are not "blocked" by Windows.
    I am running 64-bit Windows 7 Home Edition on a Dell laptop.
    I encountered this error on two separate archives with correct MD5 Sums.
    Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

  • Issue: Cannot open message catalog LIBTUX_CAT

    Hello
    I am using a webservice that connects through Tuxedo. Tuxedo starts ok but when I call my service I receive the following error:

    Hi J,
    Sorry, I'm still not following. When you say:
    "2 - My service receives the call and calls to another webservice in a AS/400 using Tuxedo."
    Are you saying you've written a Tuxedo service that makes a Web Service call to another Tuxedo service running on an AS/400 system? Let me try and ask some specific questions:
    "1 - I call my webservice using SOAP UI"
    What SOAP client are you using? Where is the Web Service you are calling running and what's it running under?
    "3 - Inside the AS/400 that receives the call there is a TR application that calls a Listener Service that calls a cobol application."
    What is a TR application?
    In any case, as I said, the error you are getting is a TPESYSTEM error which should result in an entry being made in the Tuxedo ULOG file.

  • User Account Issues - cannot open certian programs!!!

    I have a MacBook Pro 3.1 operating 10.5.8
    it is set up on an active directory and the network admins are set to administrate the machine.
    However, the user has administrative rights but cannot open itunes or iphoto because of the error
    "The folder "+program name+" is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder"
    how do i get rid of this and allow the user to have full control of the machine?

    AzN Invasion wrote:
    "The folder "+program name+" is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder"
    That sounds like another user has the same iPhoto or iTunes library open in his own account. iTunes and iPhoto libraries can only be accessed from one user account at a time, unless one is using the built-in sharing features (iTunes or iPhoto preferences -> sharing).

  • Issue - Cannot open pdf in minimized mode in 8.1.0

    Hi All,
    We have an application that needs users to select the docs they would like to print and they can specify the number of copies too. Here, we need the ability to open a PDF file in minimized mode, print it and close it.
    We were able to do this with no problems earlier, but after installing Adobe reader 8.1.0, we are facing some issues with this functionality.
    Issues -
    1. PDF opens in full screen, and not in minimized mode.
    2. When multiple docs are selected, the first doc opens up and stays in full screen. once it is sent to printer, it stays put and other docs open on top of it in fullscreen, print and get closed. The first doc remains open throughout.
    Any help in resolving these issues would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Vidya

    I'd suggest uninstalling Reader, and reinstalling.
    It sounds like FoxIt is hijacking some of Reader's registry entries. Upgrading Reader probably won't fix these, but uninstalling and reinstalling may.

  • Exchange 2013 Issue - Cannot open default email folders. you must connect to microsoft exchange

    Hello all, this is my first post and nightmare to this issue because i believe i made mistake and overlook something. I search over the internet i cant find the best answer or maybe i missed something during the configurations. The exchange was working fine
    not after i change the setting following the method
    Configure External and Internal URL in Exchange 2012. after that, the users outlook experiencing disconnect from exchange. I restore back the previous setting but now I cant add any new user to the any Outlook version or change the server path. it will
    cause the problem which show the message below:
    "Can't open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folder with your offline folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)"
    I restarted the server and check all the Exchange services are running. The Outlook web is running and they able to receive and send out. The existing link to the exchange are still working so I not really sure what setting should i look into. I was thinking
    about restoring back from Window Server Backup but was advise not to do it unless there are ways to look back the previous setting from the backup.

    Hi Peter,
    Is it possible that you can zip up your project and email it to me so that I can take a look ([email protected]), we are not aware of any issues so would like to investigate further.
    If you could rename the .zip file to .zap to get it through the email server, that would be great.
