The question you linked to seems to be about reinstalling gnome-terminal when it's been removed: to reinstall it when it's currently installed but screwed up, you probably need to add the flag--reinstallto the command i.e.sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-terminal

I have tried with your command. But, that problem has not solved.

In that case, the problem is likely not with any of the files in thegnome-terminalpackage - perhaps it is something in your local (user) configuration? Do you see the same behaviour if logged in to a different account / guest account?

@steeldriver I have tried different users too .... Still, blank window only opened. I have tried to execute exit command in this window. It works. But, content has not displayed.

Read the next paragraph to its end before doing anything!
Switch to a TTY by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F1. It also works for F2 to F6. If something is running on TTY1 (used F1), use the next one. Log in and enter sudo apt-get purge gnome-terminal. To get back to the graphical session, press Ctrl + Alt + F.
You might want to remove the profile files before reinstalling gnome-terminal (by typing in sudo apt-get install gnome-terminal). To do so, delete ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal, if it exist on your system. I have no idea where it is on Ubuntu 15.04, so maybe google this one.
Edit: I figured out the path on Ubuntu 15.04: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.Terminal.gschema.xml.

Most likely you ran into this problem after upgrading python2.7 to python3.5, anyway the solution is rather easy:
Just open xterm and type the following:
sudo apt-get -f install gnome-terminal
or
sudo apt-get remove gnome-terminal && sudo apt-get install gnome-terminal
if it didn't work either ways though, run sudo apt-get remove python3 first and repeat the steps.

The question you linked to seems to be about reinstalling gnome-terminal when it's been removed: to reinstall it when it's currently installed but screwed up, you probably need to add the flag
--reinstallto the command i.e.sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-terminal– steeldriver

I have tried with your command. But, that problem has not solved.

Oct 11 '15 at 14:33
In that case, the problem is likely not with any of the files in the
gnome-terminalpackage - perhaps it is something in your local (user) configuration? Do you see the same behaviour if logged in to a different account / guest account?– steeldriver
