Terminal Access Issues After installing TigerVNC

Applies to:

Linux OS - Version Oracle Linux 7.0 and later Linux x86-64

Symptoms

When try to start the Terminal by clicking the menu item Applications > Accessories > Terminal, it does not start. Get a Starting Terminal entry in the taskbar, after a few seconds, then close it automatically No terminal appears. However, other applications work fine.

Changes

Installed TigerVNC on server.

Cause

UTF-8 locale configuration was missing in /etc/locale.conf

Solution

If using a non UTF-8 locale, use the localectl utility to configure a UTF-8 locale e.g.:

$ localectl set-locale en_US.UTF-8
$ localectl status | grep LANG 
$ systemctl restart systemd-localed.service

Howdy, Stranger!
