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

Question

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.

Answer 1

在我安装了gnome-session并运行gnome-session之后，此方法起作用了。

Answer 2

This forum thread made me find out, that you have to install whole gnome for it to work pacman -S gnome (instead of trying standalone pacman -S gnome-terminal or in my case pacman -S gnome-session ).

An alternative solution would be to use dbus-launch gnome-terminal to start the terminal - as taken from here .
