How to solve the error “Failed to launch Terminal” after upgrading python?
How to solve the error "failed to launch Terminal" failed to execute child process GNOME-Terminal ( No such file or directory ) ? Please HELP us to solve this error. Currently I have upgraded Python to 3.7 version.
I have tried opening by clicking Alt+F2 and entered "gnome-terminal" but that too failed.
I tried "sudo apt-get purge gnome-terminal" in a shell opened on clicking "Ctrl + Alt + F3" keys which removed my terminal from the system
And then ran "sudo apt-get install gnome-terminal", I got terminal back but with the same error.
command-line 18.04 python gnome-terminal

It sounds like you might have accidentally uninstalledgnome-terminal. Have you tried typingxterminto the Alt+F2 box instead?

Can you get to a console with CTRL+ALT+F3 or F4? Once in the console, log in and typesudo apt updateand thensudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-desktopwhich will reinstall all the required packages. Then you can get back to the GUI with CTRL+ALT+F1 or F2.

After many attempts,
I found the cause of issue. Python upgraded to version 3.7 and lost its version 3.5
sudo apt-get install python3.5
Above command installed python 3.5 which is used to run terminal by Ubuntu 18.04 by default.
Note:
Uninstalling Python 3.5 causes removal of terminal, desktop, firefox
and some applications in Ubuntu.
Better don't do it.
Carefully upgrade/install python versions.
