Please advice

From your logs, seems your cinnamon session is running an unsupported locale setting

Jan 04 11:22:25 localhost.localdomain gnome-terminal-server[19981]: Non UTF-8 locale (ISO-8859-1) is not supported!

Please provide the output of

Code: Select all

localectl

- in the meantime you can run any other terminal, e.g. xterm
