I can't start Nautilus and Terminal and I need to type in my password when starting Chrome to access the password keyring.



When I go to Settings / Region & Language and change the Language from English (US) to English (GB) and then logout, login again and change the Language back to English (US) and logout / login again, I can start Terminal/Nautilus exactly once again.



After that I have to repeat this procedure to be able to start them again.



enter image description here



This is the output when starting the apps works:



The output of locale



LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NAME=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE.UTF-8

The output of cat /etc/default/locale



LANG=en_US.utf8

Looks quite similar...

  • This sounds very confusing. Which language are you talking about? The display language or the keyboard layout?

  • Looks quite normal, which makes it very odd that switching the language back and forth makes a difference. I'm out of ideas for now.
