Terminal does not open

In your local PuTTY (Windows) or Terminal (macOS, Linux), once connected to the server, try the following.

1. Check if gnome-terminal is in /usr/bin: which gnome-terminal
2. Check the version of gnome-terminal: rpm -q gnome-terminal
3. Verify the gnome-terminal installation: rpm -V gnome-terminal
4. If you are getting an error message that the environment variable LANG is not set, you may have mixed settings in the Language and Region section in your local System Preferences. Try matching them, for example English and United States.
5. Update XQuartz on your Mac.
6. Reset the local environment variable export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1.
7. On macOS, open .zshrc on your local computer (nano ~/.zshrc), add the following lines, save, then close and reopen terminal:

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

If any error messages remain, contact the NatMEG core team.

The steps above worked for one user, but it is not 100% certain that this was the solution.
