After upgrading to Ubuntu 17.10 from 17.04, I have been unable to launch gnome-terminal.
Upon clicking terminal icon, the taskbar shows terminal loading bar but then disappears after a few seconds.
Terminal loading in the taskbar:
I have tried the following:
- Purged and Re-installed gnome-terminal
sudo apt-get autoremove
and fix-missing- Changed locale to
en_US
in/etc/default/locale
I am able to access xterm and running gnome-terminal returns the following:
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Could not connect:
Connection refused
Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display:
Searching the error gives results solving terminal access issues over an ssh connection which is not my case.
How do I fix this and get gnome-terminal running?

I has the same problem but with file-roller and follow this solution.
You have to change this file
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
(with root permissions). Just addAfter saving the file, initialize a new terminal or reboot the system.
