Gnome Terminal Spins - Won't Launch (Solved)

[eapolsniper]

Leaving this here in case it helps someone else or most likely when I forget how I fixed it and need it again.

In the event you try to open gnome-terminal (the GUI terminal) after a fresh install and you just get a spinning wheel and then the app closes.

ctrl-shift F3
Login to console
apt-get update
apt-get install terminator
ctrl-shift F1
Open icon at bottom of launcher with 9 gray dots
Find Terminator and open
local-gen
localectl set-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
shutdown -r now
Should work now
Use Terminator anyway because it works better and you've already installed it

I totally agree. One Terminal to serve them all. Works great for the Aircrack-ng Suite.

I have issue with native kali terminal that started recently, i guess after few updates. When ever i close terminal either with exit command or closing the terminal, it will open again until i log out or restart my PC. How do i get this resolved.
