The command 'python3' not working when I try to check my connection status in ubuntu18.04. In the terminal the output looks like the following

bash: /usr/lib/command-not-found: /usr/bin/python3: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

which python3 doesn't print anything to the terminal. Can anybody help me figure out what the problem might be?

This is two questions. ifconfig is depreceated and has been so for a long time. In addition, you seem to have a broken python3 installation. I suggest you remove your question about ifconfig and focus on python3. – vidarlo May 07 '19 at 07:45

The problem is that you somehow broke Python3. There are several ways to do so, and it's Bad News. Apt and other essential system services depend upon a functioning Python3. The solution is generally to reinstall the python3.7 package. You probably need to use dpkg to do so, since apt is likely broken. – user535733 May 14 '19 at 12:24
