I do not know why my terminal is not working. I clicked terminal icon, and it didn't launch. There is no error message. CTRL + ALT + T is not working, also. I can launch CTRL + ALT + F1

I tried this solution. But, it didn't solve the problem.

After running the gnome-terminal command from an XTerm, I get this error message: 

/usr/bin/gnome-terminal: 
        /usr/bin/python3: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

  • You mean /usr/bin (beginning slash)? – ubfan1 Aug 11 '17 at 19:12
  • Ah yes! I tried the solution, but it didn't solve the problem @ubfan1 – dumadum Aug 11 '17 at 19:18
  • Can you please give a little more details about the system. Which version Ubuntu are you running, and have you tried rebooting? – ben-Nabiy Derush Aug 11 '17 at 19:28
  • It is possible you have a phantom display with the terminal on it. Check the output of ps auxx | grep term and see if there are any terminals open and owned by your user. Do you have multiple displays, and or is this on a laptop or a desktop with multiple graphics cards? I have seen phantom LVDS displays before. – ben-Nabiy Derush Aug 11 '17 at 19:34
  • What about other terminal emulators, like xterm? Can you start that one? – Byte Commander Aug 11 '17 at 19:43
  • I am using 16.04 on my laptop. I tried rebooting. My computer is Asus X550VC, I think it has only one graphic card. Here is the output of ps auxx | grep term : merve 3083 0.5 0.1 81484 11372 ?

  • Yes I can use xterm. @ByteCommander – dumadum Aug 11 '17 at 19:49
  • And what happens if you run the command gnome-terminal from an xterm? – Byte Commander Aug 11 '17 at 20:07

    And what did you do to your Python 3 installation? – Byte Commander Aug 11 '17 at 20:12

    Looks like you found the culprit (at least why it is not working) - now to find why your python3 is missing.... – ben-Nabiy Derush Aug 11 '17 at 20:41

    Are you still looking for a solution? If so, can you [edit] this post to provide the output of ls -l /usr/bin/python*? – Eliah Kagan Sep 06 '17 at 22:17
