Description:
gnome-terminal-server is not starting

gnome-terminal gets stuck without an error when gnome-terminal-server hasn't started.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
gnome-terminal 3.40.3-1

* config and/or log files etc.
Logs from "journalctl -e --user -u gnome-terminal-server"

Jul 21 21:21:48 f systemd[1439]: Starting GNOME Terminal Server...
Jul 21 21:21:48 f gnome-terminal-server[534891]: Non UTF-8 locale (ANSI_X3.4-1968) is not supported!
Jul 21 21:21:48 f systemd[1439]: gnome-terminal-server.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=8/n/a

* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
Run "systemctl start --user gnome-terminal-server"



To fix, I had to manually run...
LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 /usr/lib/gnome-terminal-server &

My environment has "LANG=C" which causes the gnome-terminal-server error.

The file /etc/default/locale contains...

LANG=en_AU.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=en_AU.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_AU.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_AU.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=en_AU.UTF-8
LC_NAME=en_AU.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=en_AU.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=en_AU.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_AU.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_AU.UTF-8

I've figured this out. After I upgraded, something moved my /etc/locale.conf to /etc/locale.conf.pacsave
