[Sid] Gnome-terminal don't start anymore connection refused

[temporpippo]

Hi, I tried everything

I'm running Debian sid (unstable) and after some updates it's been a couple of weeks already that gnome-terminal doesn't work anymore. This is a standard Gnome 3 desktop from a Dell laptop (integrated Intel VGA) on an external monitor (HDMI) - but without external monitor nothing changes.

If I try to launch gnome-terminal from the desktop icon nothing happens. XTerm works, so I try to launch it from there:

Code: Select all

# watch_fast: "/org/gnome/desktop/interface/" (establishing: 0, active: 0)

# unwatch_fast: "/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/" (active: 0, establishing: 1)
# watch_established: "/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/" (establishing: 0)

From sudo:

Code: Select all

# _g_io_module_get_default: Found default implementation local (GLocalVfs) for ‘gio-vfs’
# posix_spawn avoided (fd close requested) 
# _g_io_module_get_default: Found default implementation dconf (DConfSettingsBackend) for ‘gsettings-backend’

# unwatch_fast: "/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/" (active: 0, establishing: 1)
# watch_established: "/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/" (establishing: 0)

I tried to purge locales, regenerating, and then rebooting, does not work. My /etc/default/locale:

Code: Select all

#  File generated by update-locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE="en_US:en"

Output of localectl:

Code: Select all

   System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
                  LANGUAGE=en_US:en
                  LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.UTF-8

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

Up. Nobody?

[temporpippo]

Still nothing... why? o.O

[Head_on_a_Stick]

why?

Because you're running sid and sometimes sid just breaks. Have you tried updating the system?

[temporpippo]

As suggested I waited for a few days to see if the problem solved itself but unfortunately no, it still persists. I have really no clue what's going wrong but this is terribly frustrating

Sid is not for everyone. Try stable.

You cannot be serious.

1. There is more than one 'terminal' available.

2. I have xfce-sid and a few other gnome packages.

3. I just downloaded gnome-terminal and gnome-terminal-data.

4.Latest version 3.34.2 works here.

5.Perhaps your desktop link is screwed up.

6.Open it from a terminal

Debian stable is for people that can't intellectually keep up.

No, stable is for those that want a working system with no drama.

There's no drama in my grandma...

Well, OP, if this were my problem of all that magical code not working, I would simply cut out the middleman, right click on my desktop, choose Create Launcher and:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper

Now I can pretty it up and put it wherever I want.

My working gnome terminal not the homeade one:

Code: Select all

$ gnome-terminal
# _g_io_module_get_default: Found default implementation dconf (DConfSettingsBackend) for ‘gsettings-backend’
# watch_fast: "/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/" (establishing: 0, active: 0)
# unwatch_fast: "/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/" (active: 0, establishing: 1)
# watch_established: "/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/" (establishing: 0)

Now I have gnome terminal and xfce4 terminal and ... terminal and ...terminal and...
