Running gnome-terminal in tilix I get

$ gnome-terminal
# 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: Timeout was reached

Comment 2 antonio montagnani 2018-05-02 07:06:00 UTC
$ localectl
   System Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: it
      X11 Layout: it

Comment 3 antonio montagnani 2018-05-02 08:17:23 UTC
it seems that installing langpacks-it solves the issue. My system were upgraded from F27

Comment 4 Yann Droneaud 2018-05-02 13:02:59 UTC
It's the same issue I've described in #1570924

Comment 5 Yann Droneaud 2018-05-02 13:04:59 UTC
see bug #1570924.

Comment 6 Florian Weimer 2018-05-02 13:06:40 UTC
Do you have files under /usr/lib/locale/it_IT and /usr/lib/locale/it_IT@euro which are not owned by RPM?  Such as /usr/lib/locale/it_IT/LC_CTYPE?

(This bug is a possible duplicate of bug #1572679).

how do I check if are owned/not owned by RPM?? anyway after installation as per comment #3 system seems ok

This should work:

rpm -qf /usr/lib/locale/it_IT/LC_CTYPE
rpm -qf /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive

Comment 10 antonio montagnani 2018-05-15 13:25:15 UTC
[antonio@fujitsu ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/locale/it_IT/LC_CTYPE
glibc-langpack-it-2.27-8.fc28.x86_64
[antonio@fujitsu ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive
il file /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive non è posseduto da alcun pacchetto

(last line says that is not owned by any package.

How is it possible: I installed only official packages...this is a Fedora that was updated from F27 to F28

The most likely cause is that you either interrupted dnf/rpm during an update (using ^C, for example), or the system crashed at that point.

Comment 12 Jan Beran 2018-05-20 12:14:17 UTC
I have the same experience as Antonio with cs locale that was missing after the upgrade from F27 to F28. I had to install glibc-langpack-cs manually to solve the issue.

Comment 16 Ben Cotton 2019-05-02 21:01:09 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life.
On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases
that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as
EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 17 Ben Cotton 2019-05-28 22:15:55 UTC
Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
