I have a fresh install of Gentto with a fresh install of Gnome with Systemd. It works fine apart that Gnome Terminal is not starting. Based on the documentation found it may be linked to the 'Locales'.

I followed the Gentoo wiki for Locales (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Localization/Guide/it). Till
Code:
locale-gen
it works fine, but at the next step
Code:
localectl list-locales
I got the following error message:

"Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory"

How can I sort it out?

Thanks and regards

Enrico

I would reproduce the error and then check the logs with:

Code:
journalctl -eb


This should give you a hint.

Another thing is to check the environment variables:
Code:
systemctl show-environment
systemctl --user show-environment

After
Code:
localesctl list-locales

I typed
Code:
journalctl -eb

it returns 1000 lines. I pass trough them, but I can see anything special.

Code:
# systemctl show-environment
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:opt/bin:usr/lib/llvm/15/bin



Code:
#systemctl --user show-environment
Failed to connect to bus: No medium found

I have the same output, if I run that as user root. But my intention was that you run the command as normal user. I wanted to check, whether the environment variable "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" was set.

Is D-Bus running?

for what it is worth, i had this problem with a debian container and toggling `--no-install-recommends' broke localectl env though systemd was functioning correctly... i'm not quite sure which pacakge allowed it to work, but hoping it helps someone.
