archlinuxgnome-terminal

starting gnome-terminal results in "Error constructing proxy..."

Running gnome-terminal gives me

# Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling
StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached

Output of localectl:

   System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: dvorak
      X11 Layout: dvorak
       X11 Model: pc105

What may be the cause of this error? It's mentioned here but I'm not running it via sudo or root...

Running sudo gnome-terminal works correctly suprisingly enough.

Solution

  • This worked after I installed gnome-session, and running gnome-session.
