terminal won't lauch (ubuntu 16.04)
A weird thing happened today: I clicked in terminal icon and it didn't launched, just blinked and disappeared. If I press ctrl+alt+t it won't launch. I tried to launch a light terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+f1. The login screen, appeared to put my login and password, the system accepted the login and password but quickly returned to the login screen. Its a kind of loop: I enter the login and the system returns to the login screen. Xterm doesn't work too.
However, unity seems to works correctly.
Its the first time that the terminal doesn't work, and I don't know how to fix this bug.
I would appreciate any kind of help.
UPDATE:
I had installed mysecureshell before the reported issue and when I removed this package the problem was corrected partially. The terminal works (xterm too) but the light terminals (tty), accessed by ctrl+alt+f1, remains in loop during the login.
Below are pasted my bashrc and the result of dmesg:
~/.bashrc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16918978/
dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16918993/
command-line 16.04

In my case i upgrade python3.5 to python3.6.
For that workaround
Run xterm . Then run two command
sudo rm /usr/bin/python3
sudo ln -s python3.5 /usr/bin/python3

It may be too late for your case or maybe the solution works on me doesn't work on yours. My case is as below.
Recently, I ran into the condition that suddenly, the terminal program could not be started. I googled the web, and found 2 causes: one is incorrect locale settings, and the other is the original python3 being incorrectly replaced.
In my case, I did install python3.4.6 while the existing python3 is python3.5.2. After I restore python3.5.2, the terminal program runs well again.
Reference: terminal won't launch after install python 3.5.
Good Luck.
