1. Install

sudo apt install terminator

4. Ubuntu terminator cannot open the solution

In the process of using Ubuntu, I suddenly found that Ctrl + Alt + T cannot open the terminator, but the terminal of Ubuntu itself can be opened. Restarting the computer and reinstalling the terminator did not work. Later, I found out that I changed the default python version of ubuntu from 2.x to 3.x, and the terminator is based on python2, so I couldn't open the terminal.

solution

sudo vim /usr/bin/terminator

Change #!/usr/bin/python to #!/usr/bin/python2
