I solve this problem by installing xterm from software, and running /usr/bin/gnome-terminal. This gave me an error I hadn't seen before, which was that my python installation was not as expected. I fixed the python installation and everything works again.

The python issue was that I was trying to use a python version manager, but gnome-terminal was looking for the binary python3 in /usr/bin. I had disabled that binary by renaming it to old_python3. I renamed it again to python3 and everything worked.

It might be possible that terminal is missing from your system for some reason. You can check that by checking out 

/bin/gnome-terminal

You can install it using ubuntu software center. Open the software center and type "terminal" and then install it.

I found the solution for me was to follow the steps from the link below but changing the python version to the 3.6 in my case.

  • Try to update your locale
  • Try to change your environment variables or reset them to their default values.
  • Or just restarting your PC sometimes help
