https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D195394 --- Comment #20 from John Hein <z7dr6ut7gs@snkmail.com> --- (In reply to Ting-Wei Lan from comment #19) No, the slim display manager was started without LANG set to anything (even= if you select gnome as the session environment). Adding lang=3Den_US.UTF-8 to /etc/login.conf seems to do the trick. Thanks for finding that. That has to be the worst error message ever. Oka= y, probably not _the_ worst. So if you use gdm as your display manager + gnome session environment, it appears to inject a UTF-8 locale for dbus's environment somehow (presumably= if you don't have one set for the system). But if you use slim for a display manager and mate for the desktop environm= ent, LANG is not set to anything. Setting lang in /etc/login.conf to a UTF-8 lo= cale (I only tested en_US.UTF-8 & de_DE.UTF-8) fixes it. I did test with slim a= nd 'lang=3DC' in login.conf, and that also made gnome-terminal fail the same w= ay (exited with status 8). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
