Ubuntu – Terminal won’t launch after upgrading

15.04gnome-terminallocale

After upgrading my laptop from 14.10 to 15.04, the terminal wont' launch. Ctrl+Alt+T does nothing. neither will terminal run from dash. I tried launching gnome-terminal from xterm, but nothing happens. Running htop from xterm shows many instances of gnome-terminal. Any advice anyone?

I guess this is how you fix this.

You can change the locale in /etc/default/locale. You can try setting the contents of that file to:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="en_US"

Ubuntu – no dash or menu after upgrading from ubuntu 14.10 to 15.04

This is a long shot but I ran into the same issue as you and it took me an hour of trial and error to fix it. I haven't figured out why, but the unity settings are probably messed up.

You need to start the compiz config settings tool. I couldn't figure out how to start it from command line so I started up a cinnamon session where I could start the settings tool. In the settings tool I, quite frankly, messed around a bit. Checked and unchecked the OpenGL plugin and the unity plugin. I think the latter is probably what made it work, since it yelled back at me with warnings and conflicts.

After this. I logged out and logged back in again and unity was back.

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 add

X11Forwarding yes

After saving the file, initialize a new terminal or reboot the system.
