I've never used NetBeans before but I found this old Bugzilla Post that may shed some light on your issue. The original poster was able to resolve the Failed to start terminal: HOST_UNREACHABLE error by updating their /etc/hosts file.
If you haven't done so already, the Linode guide to Using Your System's hosts File should get you pointed in the right direction for making these configuration changes on your instance.
If that doesn't do the trick, you can post an issue to the NetBeans Github Repo.
Hope this helps!
