Bug#746415: Still seeing the symptom

[graeme vetterlein]

Well I pretty much stopped using gnome-terminal (due to this bug) so 
I've not been spotting changes.

The symptoms seem to be the same, I guess the root cause may be different.

$ gnome-terminal --version
# GNOME Terminal 3.30.2 using VTE 0.54.2 +GNUTLS


$ dpkg-query -l gnome-terminal
WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
-  (press RETURN)
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend 

|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

+++-==============-============-============-=================================== 

ii  gnome-terminal 3.30.2-2     amd64        GNOME terminal emulator 
application


Behaviour seems similar to the original post :

$ env | grep LANG
LANG=C

(this is reduced from before)

$ id
uid=1001(guest) gid=1001(guest) groups=1001(guest)

(Just for MY reference, running these as guest)

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


...only the debug is no longer appearing (I assume due to 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-terminal/-/issues/42 getting fixed? )


Following this I tried:

$ export LC_ALL=en_GB.utf8
graeme at real:~$ locale
LANG=en_GB.utf8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ALL=en_GB.utf8

graeme at real:~$ gnome-terminal
# Error constructing proxy for 
org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling 
StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached

Previously I assume it worked with a UTF8 based locale (from the context)
