Ubuntu – Ubuntu 18 terminal not opening

command linegnome-terminal

I just installed Ubuntu 18 on my desktop PC alongside Windows 10 and have been using Ubuntu without any problems for a couple of days. Today, when I booted up my computer, I am no longer able to open the terminal at all. I've tried restarting it multiple times, but it still won't work. If I click the terminal icon on my task bar, nothing happens. If I try opening the terminal with CTRL+ALT+t, it still doesn't work.

How can I resolve this?

I had the same problem. After updating python to version 3.7 some applications like jupyter notebook, meld and the terminal did not launch.

The solution: Symbolic link to python3.4" was lost:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install python3-minimal
