Description Daniel Preston 2016-10-30 22:31:54 UTC 
I installed a fresh Arch Linux and made a mistake when configuring system locales. Everything worked fine, until I tried to open gnome-terminal. It simply dosn't appear. Even when executin "gnome-terminal" in pantheon-terminal, there is no output. Currently I have no time to see how environment vars are handled in gnome-terminal, but there should be an error or so.

After I fixed the locale everything worked fine. But I spend 3 hours on troubleshooting this...

Please provide exact steps to reproduce the problem.
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2016-11-02 08:43:42 UTC 
This is user misconfiguration, I don't think g-t should work around this. g-t-server does emit an error message describing the problem [journalctl _EXE=/usr/libexec/gnome-terminal-server], and the FAQ [https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Terminal/FAQ#Exit_status_8] has further info on it.
