[sle-beta] Anyone seeing issues with starting gnome-terminal?

[Mike Marion]

Before I open a bug, since it might be something I'm just missing.. is
anyone seeing issues with starting things like gnome-terminal on a SLE15
B2 install?

It reminds me of what I saw early on the 12.x betas, that ended up being
locale stuff, but that doesn't seem to be it this time.  Or the locale
settings by default are odd.

I can ssh -Y in, and start xterm fine.  Try gnome-terminal and it times
out with:
sle15-beta2-vm(sles15) [~ (master)↓⚡]$ gnome-terminal
Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached

syslog shows:
Nov 17 08:40:02 sle15-beta2-vm systemd[7512]: Started D-Bus User Message Bus.
Nov 17 08:40:02 sle15-beta2-vm dbus-daemon[7576]: Activating via systemd: service name='org.gnome.Terminal' unit='gnome-terminal-server.service'

Nov 17 08:40:17 sle15-beta2-vm dbus-daemon[4532]: Failed to activate service 'org.gnome.Terminal': timed out

I thought it might be something in my env, but even root simply gets:
sle15-beta2-vm:~ # gnome-terminal
 systemd[7512]: Failed to start GNOME Terminal Server.
Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached

Google searches are all still returning basically the locale stuff that I've already 
dug into some, but it shows on this host:
cornholio-kvm:~ # localectl 
   System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: us
      X11 Layout: n/a

That does seem terse and the X11 layout is odd.. I didn't actually set/change 
anything related and it's the install defaults.  I even checked both language 
settings and keyboard layout in yast to make sure something didn't just 
get missed.
