Gnome terminal not working (18.04)

All the sudden my gnome-terminal will not open. This all happened after I installed the termite terminal (here) and was trying to change the default term that opens with Ctrl-Alt-T:
sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
However, I noticed something. The last time I ran this command there were 2 entries for gnome-terminal (like tilix). Now there's only the one:
0 /usr/local/bin/termite 60 auto mode
1 /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper 40 manual mode
2 /usr/bin/tilix 30 manual mode
3 /usr/bin/tilix.wrapper 30 manual mode
4 /usr/bin/urxvt 20 manual mode
*5 /usr/local/bin/termite 60 manual mode
And here is the error message I get when trying to run gnome-terminal:
Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling
StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached
I'm really at a loss. I've tried some of the solutions involving locale-gen but to no avail. I've reinstalled gnome-terminal and rebooted, tried different acounts, etc.
Thanks.

In Ubuntu 18.04, gnome-terminal requiresvteversion 0.52. Termite needs a fork of vte calledvte-ng, as of writing this comment the newest version of that is 0.50. Probably your gnome-terminal now tries to load vte-ng 0.50 instead of vte 0.52 and fails because it's not recent enough.

I uninstalled everything to do with termite (with help from locate) and gnome-terminal works again. Hmm.

Your answer is okay, but a more in-depth answer what steps to take etc. would possibly earn you upvotes and thus AskUbuntu-Gamification-Points ... and beside that, make it easier for the next user with a similiar problem to follow your step. What do you think?
