terminal on ubuntu can not open-CodePudding

after uninstalled python3.10 using rm -rf python3.10 in /usr/bin my terminal is not working anymore but can access through VSCode but it say enter image description here any suggestion? thank you in advanced

CodePudding user response：

It is because /usr/bin/python3 is a soft link to /usr/bin/python3.10 which is the main binary that runs python3 on your machine. This should help :

$ ls -l /usr/bin/python3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 May 31 13:02 /usr/bin/python3 -> python3.10

You might need to install python again to get the binary. If you have different version of python available that you want to use, create link to it like this:

ln -s file1 link1 which would be in case you have python3.10 re/installed

ln -s /usr/bin/python3.10 /usr/bin/python3

Considering you deleted python3.10 binary by mistake!
