Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I have the same issue, running the following command fixes the issue until the next reboot:

dbus-update-activation-environment --all

Please give some context (like a subject line) when replying to bugs -
I nearly deleted this message unread on the assumption that "(No Subject)"
was probably phishing or spam, and without going back to the BTS web
interface I can't tell which issue you have experienced.

For other maintainers, the original bug report in its entirety is:

Matthew, I suspect that you might have a different bug that happens to
have the same symptoms: "the terminal doesn't open" is quite a non-specific
symptom that would appear if the terminal was crashing on startup for any
reason, so it might be seen as a result of multiple bugs. To help to debug
this, please could you send this information to the bug?

* Which version of Debian you are running? (wheezy/7, jessie/8,
  stretch/testing, sid/unstable)

* What versions of packages related to gnome-terminal do you have?
  (Please install reportbug and use "reportbug --template gnome-terminal"
  to gather this information automatically)

* In particular, which versions of gnome-terminal, dbus, dbus-x11
  and dbus-user-session do you have? (It's OK if you don't have
  dbus-x11 or if you don't have dbus-user-session, but if that's the
  case please say so)

* Which desktop environment or window manager are you using?

* If you install and run a non-GNOME terminal like xterm, then run
  "gnome-terminal" from there, does it work? If not, what error
  messages do you get?

* If you run the command "locale" from an xterm or other non-GNOME
  terminal, what does it output?

* After trying to run gnome-terminal, are there any messages related
  to gnome-terminal, dbus or systemd near the end of /var/log/syslog?

Regards,
    S

If you install and run xterm, then run the command "gnome-terminal"
from the xterm, does that work? Do you see any error messages?

After gnome-terminal fails to start, are there any error messages
related to gnome-terminal, dbus or systemd near the end of
/var/log/syslog?

Are you using GNOME as your desktop environment? If not, which
desktop environment or window manager are you using?

I suspect that this broken locale setup might be related to the problem
with gnome-terminal. Installing the locales or locales-all package,
and/or running "dpkg-reconfigure locales" as root and making sure you ask for
the en_US.utf8 locale, might help.

Regards,
    S

Sorry, I have the same problem as the OP. When opening the terminal from a tty or another terminal emulator it waits for a minute and then gives me this error:

Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 8

Here is the output of reportbug --template gnome-terminal on my system:

过了几天，小岛真的要下沉了，爱想请人帮助。这时，富裕乘着一艘大船经过。

我摇了摇头，这不是我想要的生活，生了这场病后，我告诉过自己，要珍惜把握活着的每个时刻，不仅要闯出自己的一片天，更要好好去享受这得来不易的人生，只有不断赶路的生活，并不在我的计画中，怎么在不知不觉中，占满了我的每个时刻？

宋朝人王罕出任潭州知州时，有一个狂妇人来诉事。因为她出言无章，官员一呵斥，她就骂人，前几任知州最后都不让她進衙门。王罕命她上前来，仔细询问，让她慢慢讲。
//n很久才听明白：她本来是别人的妻子，没有孩子，丈夫死后，因为妾有孩子，占了丈夫的家业，把她赶出了家门，屡次上诉不能申冤，因此愤懑发狂。
//n王罕受理了这个案子，把家业判归给她，不久那个妇人就恢复了正常，人们都认为神奇。朝廷知道了，下敕书...
