[Qubes 3 - Debian 8] Gnome terminal does not start - locals issue

[Jeremias E.]

Hello,

I have an issue with the debian 8 template under Qubes OS 3. The locals are not set correctly.
The problem is that I cannot start gnome-terminal over the menu:

try to start gnome-terminal in xterm:
(process:6203): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
    Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 8

the bash message if I switch from user to root via sudo su:
bash: warning: setlocal: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)

the settings are like this:
LANGUAGE= (unset)
LC_ALL = "en_US.UTF-8"
LANG = (unset)

does somebody has the same problem?

Best regards
  J. Eppler

Hello,

I am also not able to start gnome-terminal over the run-command prompt in the Qubes VM Manager.

Hello,

following fixes that problem:
# dpkg-reconfigure locales

source: https://wiki.debian.org/ChangeLanguage

the problem is not that it is hard to set the language manually, but it is hard and confussing that the language is not set correctly in the debian 8 package.

Best regards

I too encounterred the same problem i tried running the dpkg-reconfigure command too but that didn't solve it.The solution that solved my problem was by directly
**Opening Settings->Region and Language
->Formats=>India
->Language=>English
**
Then restarted the system that solved my problem..Hope this helps. :)
