Bug#746415: The problem is in bashrc.

[Stephen Samuel]

I've just had this problem -- updated to Mint 19.2 and found Gnome-terminal
not starting.  I tracked that to gnome-terminal-server refusing to start
because of a non-UTF locale.

I ended up commenting out these two lines in
samuel at hpre:~$ egrep 'LANG|LC[_=]' .??* 2> /dev/null
 . . . .
.profile:# export LANG=C
.profile:# export LC_ALL=C
. . . .
.bashrc:# export LANG=en
.bashrc:# export LC_ALL=en

Problem solved.
