I reebooted Ubuntu 22.04.02 LTS and a command line appears. I cannot access the desktop. I was trying to fix an issue with LabelImg and python 3.9 and python 3.10 before I rebooted. What should I do in order to display the desktop and have access to my files?? I tried installing the desktop with sudo apt-get but nothing was installed...

How to start GUI from command line?

    Have you changed the default python3 version? as Ubuntu Desktop requires the default python3 be unchanged... Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Server however is less critical on default python3. You'll likely fix your issue if python3 defaults are returned to normal. – guiverc Jun 23 '23 at 13:01

    If you've changed the python3 default version; you'll find many Ubuntu tools don't work (which may include apt too) thus are limited to manual tools (like wget to download & dpkg to install packages instead of front-end tools like apt that do both but need a (default version) python3 working. What do you see with python3 -V for example; if that has changed from what is expected for 22.04; Ubuntu tools that require python3 may not work correctly or work at all (not working at all is the best/safest option actually) – guiverc Jun 23 '23 at 13:12
  • The question currently seems unanswerable due to a lack of information. "trying ABC" doesn't tell us what you actually did. It also does not show us complete, accurate terminal input and output that we could use to help troubleshoot. – user535733 Jun 23 '23 at 14:39
