The terminal won't open with neither pressing the program icon nor by CTRL+ALT+T.

I've tried

$ sudo apt-get --reinstall install python3-minimal

using the terminal of VS code, but no luck.

BTW - I'm running via VirtualBox 7.0, on a Windows 11 host.

EDIT (solved)

After help from Jos (see comments), I added a line to the file /dev/default/locale:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8

and rebooted.

What happens when you use the VS code terminal and enter gnome-terminal? At least you should see an error message. – Jos Oct 27 '22 at 18:52

@Jos - thanks. I added "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" at the end of the file /etc/default/locale and rebooted – drC1Ron Oct 27 '22 at 20:09
Okay. I'll vote to close this question as a duplicate of the other one. – Jos Oct 27 '22 at 20:11
