Hi, the output of less ~/.xsession-errors should provide the same or at least similar output, as launching gnome-terminal from command line. Much unlikely that journalctl does contain any user session related logs of the kind you want to get. If you are using some GNOME launcher, are you using a launcher dedicated for gnome-terminal or is it a launcher trying to open a "preferred" terminal?
