Hi
I'm new in arch and recently installed arch on my laptop with gnome-desktop !
This is error that i get when i try to open gnome-terminal :
$ gnome-terminal

welcome to the forums.
please search before posting, there are lots of threads about this issue, for example: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=180103
make sure to use unicode locale, and that your locale is set up correctly in general
This is in gnome 3.16 and none of those solutions not work on my problem.
Thanks.

Gnome terminal suddenly fails to start

My laptop died because the battery failed, as a result, after rebooting, gnome-terminal fails to start with:
(process:3967): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.

I couldn't find anything on status 8..:-/

Make sure your locale is set correctly, and that you have uncommented your relevant UTF-8 language.
See here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … ide#Locale
Then try rebooting.
gnome-terminal 3.14.x requires a unicode locale to work, with some luck the other warnings should also disappear.

[SOLVED] gnome-terminal won't start

Well, first of all good day and thanks in advance.
gnome-terminal is not launching. I get:
ERROR:terminal-app.c:1433:terminal_app_init: assertion failed: (app->system_font_desc != NULL)
This started with no particular trigger, and now i am using aterm, but i like better gnome-terminal, so any help would be appreciated.

Seems like a font issue, try this:
gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=Default
Else you can try editing the settings using gconf-editor.

Gwtmstmp 8209 error ONLY on Gnome Terminal

I've just migrated from Netware 6.5SP8 GW8.03HP3 to GW2012 SP2 running on SLES11SP3 with OES11SP2.
I'm trying to set up some backup scripts using dbcopy essentially the script that Willem has posted in other threads.
Now the first few times I ran it I was doing it via a remote putty session, but now I'm testing on the Gnome Terminal in the Console and getting the following error when it gets to the gwtmstmp command:
-- In Gnome
ford:/opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin # /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin/gwtmstmp -s -p /media/nss/GWISE/grpw_po

Trying 'us' Resource File.
Load of Resource File (/opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin/../lib/gwtsaxuk.fil) failed - error - 8209 for lang 'en'

Successfully set backup timestamp for all users on post office at /media/nss/GWISE/grpw_po
Why on earth would it start looking for the wrong Resource file in Gnome?
There is only one gwtsa file:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 121030 Mar 26 2013 /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/lib/gwtsaxen.fil
The real question is would cron have the same issue and not be able to run gwtmstmp successfully?

Did you also try a real copy (cp) to make gwtsaxuk.fil
I know should be the same as a symlink, but you never know.

Just a quick update.
Finally got round to installing the multilingual rpms using "rpm -Uvh --force ........" to get them to overwritten the same version number english-only rpms, then restarted all the agents, but this still didn't resolve the issue. All of the user interfaces are now correclty multilingual (you can pick from about 20 languages in the advanced section of WebAccess).
Went into ConsoleOne, properties of the domain, the language drop down was also fully populated, changed it to another language, it rebuilt the domain db languages, then changed it back to English UK, it rebuilt the domain db languages again - tried gwtmstmp still the same error.
Checked in /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/lib - still only gwtsaxen.fil present as a gwtsaXXX file, lots of other language files prefixed gwmonx/gwmtax/gwpoax are present, but only the single gwtsa file - do the others even exist?
So, the solution (workaround) we put in please. Now we have the multilingual rpms installed symbolic links almost work properly. I added links to gwtsaxen.fil from both gwtsaxuk.fil and gwtsaxus.fil, for some reason the uk one is still ignored and reports an error, but the us one appears to be followed OK now.
Not clean, not nice and I'm sure I'm missing something somewhere, but it appears to have at least partially resolved the error.

Gnome terminal cannot open http links

I have a gnome DE with openbox as my window manager and I use gnome-terminal. Normally when there is a http:// link I can right click and select "open link" to have it opened in a tab in firefox. However, recently I now get an error message:
Could not open the address "http://google.com" Operation not supported
I also tested this in another terminal emulator, sakura, and found that links don't open either, just with no error message. In other applications, for example thunderbird, links open in firefox correctly.
My gnome gconf seems to be set correctly.
cat .gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/%gconf.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
<entry name="needs_terminal" mtime="1282144051" type="bool" value="false"/>

<entry name="command" mtime="1282144051" type="string">
<stringvalue>/usr/lib/firefox-3.6/firefox "%s"</stringvalue>
</entry>
</gconf>
Any ideas?

Does this mean that gnome actually starts when you run startx, but that you tried to run the command gnome-session directly from the commandline and this doesn't start X? In that case, everything is exactly as it's supposed to be...
Gnome requires the X Window System in order to run. The command gnome-session is used to start gnome, but it won't start X - so if you try running gnome-session without a running X-server, it will fail. You are therefore supposed to configure ~/.xinitrc to run the windowmanger of your choice (in this case gnome-session), and use the command startx when you want to launch X and gnome.

Gnome Terminal Errors after -Syu

So after pacman -Syu tonight, I get this error with gnome-terminal:
symbol lookup error: gnome-terminal: undefined symbol: gtk_minc_get_ttpe
Lucky I have LXTerminal installed to be able to see the error...

I have what I think is the same problem. I just did a very big update, so I don't know when this came up. But here's what I know. Here's the command I run:
gksu -u otheruser "gnome-terminal --working-directory=/home/otheruser"
With the latest version (gnome-terminal-2.24.1.1-1-i686), I get a dialog with:
An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for gnome-terminal. Some of your configuration settings may not work.
Then I get the bug reporting tool. On the terminal, I get the following debug output:
** (gnome-terminal:2316): WARNING **: Owner of /tmp/orbit-mainuser is not the current user
(gnome-terminal:2316): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
None of the authentication protocols specified are supported.
ERROR:terminal-app.c:1525:terminal_app_init: assertion failed: (app->default_profile_id != NULL)
I tried logging in as the other user, and I could run gnome-terminal. From there, I tried running the same command to run the gnome-terminal as my main user, and I got the same error.
I downgraded to gnome-terminal-2.22.3-1-i686, and I get the same dialog, but the terminal starts. I also get the warning about orbit-mainuser, but not the default_profile_id error. However, there's no menu bar, and the background color is yellow for some reason. I can't do tabs or anything.

Cannot start xconsole or gnome-terminal after update

I use fluxbox, and I have gnome-terminal bound to a keyboard shortcut as well as a menu item. However, since upgrading to GNOME 2.26, gnome-terminal would not start. There is no visual indication of failure; the window just doesn't show up.
I also tried xconsole (by adding xconsole to the menu through TTY), and I get a message saying simply that "couldn't open console"
I read something about the permissions of /dev/console not being set probably, and that commenting out lines in /etc/fbtab would help, but no such table file exists on my system.
Thanks in advance for your help.

[Solved] Gnome-terminal does not start (fresh install)

Whenever I install gnome-terminal, I have the following message displayed:
(gconftool-2:28984): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:/usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message
Then whenever I launch gnome-terminal I have this message:
** (gnome-terminal:1102): CRITICAL **: atk_bridge_adaptor_cleanup: assertion `inited' failed
The problem seems to be related to dbus. I have even tried guake which complains explicitly about "No D-BUS daemon running".
Systemctl is telling me that d-bus is up and running.
Any help appreciated.

No scrolling when viewing man pages with Gnome terminal?

Hi all,
I have just installed Oracle Solaris 11 on x86. For a long time I've used Solaris 9 on SPARC. I like the new OS, but I'm having a problem viewing man pages with Gnome terminal. When I view a long man page, e.g., "man newfs", I don't get a functional scroll bar on the right hand side of the window. And although the space bar works to advance the page, when I reach the end, it doesn't return to the command prompt. It just beeps, prints "END", and I can only exit by closing the window. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Suggestions would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Chris Tidy

It does sound like you're using "less" instead of more. When you see the "(END)" prompt you can simply type "q" and it will exit back to the command line prompt making it unnecessary to close the window. See the "less" manual page for more detail on the less command. Under Solaris 9 the paging was done with the "more" command. If you set the PAGER environment variiable to "more" the man page will use more and revert to the behavior you'd be used to with Solaris 9. Less erases the text you've already read when you type that final "q" which is a behavior I don't like. I didn't bother to determine if there is a way to fix that with less, I just went back to more. The choice between "more" and "less" is a personal preference.

[SOLVED] Gnome 3.12 : gnome terminal does not run anymore

I had the following message when trying to run gnome-terminal after updating to 3.12:
Error creating terminal: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)
I have found a fix, so I'll share it with the community. The problem was that I had vte3-mosh-fix installed from the aur, version 0.34.9 and that gnome-terminal now requires vte3 0.36.0.
Switching to the official vte3 package fixes the issue.

Thank you for posting the solution. I would have never even remembered that I had installed that mosh fix, let alone thought to remove it.

Errors (libGL error: failed to open drm) in Gnome Startup & StartUp

Hi,
I started installing ArchLinux and want to use Gnome but got some error messages on start up.
My System is a Thinkpad T400s with Intel GMA 4500MHD.
I have installed:
pacman -S gnome xorg-server dbus xorg-xinit xf86-video-intel
from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel my graphic chip is supported.
X Server works ("Xorg -retro" and "startx /usr/bin/xterm" is working).
xinit gnome-session
Starts Gnome around a Xterm (seems to be so).
In this Xterm window there are a lot of messages with errors I don't track down:

Urxvt vs gnome-terminal font style difference

Hi All,
I`m using ubuntu mono font with cleartype patches for my terminal. On gnome-terminal the fonts look good but on rxvt-unicode they look different (more sharp, thin and wide).
How do I make the fonts look good in urxvt just like gnome-terminal?
In the screenshot above, left side is gnome-terminal and right is rxvt-unicode.
Here is the relevant chunk from ~/.Xresources:
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.antialias: true
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
URxvt*font: xft:ubuntu mono:size=13:style=medium:antialias=true
URxvt*boldFont: xft:ubuntu mono:size=13:style=medium:antialias=true
Thanks.

orschiro wrote:You need to install rxvt-unicode-patched from the AUR as by default urxvt has some font rendering problems.
Thanks. I should have mentioned this before, I`m using rxvt-unicode-256xresources from AUR. This packages has same patches as rxvt-unicode-patched. However, I have tried both rxvt-unicode-patched and rxvt-unicode-256xresources and both versions have the same issue.
On the flip side, I removed the xft,freetype2 and cairo cleartype patches and installed -ubuntu patches. With this I was able to get the desired quality in urxvt, but then gnome-terminal,emacs and other X apps get the bad font rendering.
Unfortunately, I do no understand the details of font configuration like antialias-ing, hinting etc to tweak this.

server.c:113:5: warning: ignoring return value of ‘chdir’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
(void) chdir ("/");
^
are all the problems caused by this ?How could I handle this, can anyone fix that?Thanks for your works.Sorry for my poor English.

That compiler warning is probably benign (harmless). The function appears to change the working directory and then return a void pointer. The pointer is not used because, apparently, in this case it is not needed.
