How can I fix terminator? It doesn't work












0















When I run terminator in terminal, it doesn't work. The error is this:



$ terminator

File "/usr/bin/terminator", line 119
except (KeyError,ValueError), ex:

^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Error in sys.excepthook:

Traceback (most recent call last):

How can I fix it? I use Ubuntu 16.04.

  • What is the output of which python? Also, what is the first line of /usr/bin/terminator? Is it something like #!/usr/bin/python3? or is it #!/usr/bin/python?

  • It is #!/usr/bin/python

Consider to reinstall packages with apt_pkg with



sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-apt python3-apt


and to be completely sure reinstall Terminator with



sudo apt-get install --reinstall terminator

Terminator require python2 libraries but from your output it seems it is using python3 to run. Also, according to release notes of Ubuntu 18.04,




Python 2 is no longer installed by default. Python 3 has been updated to 3.6. This is the last LTS release to include Python 2 in main.




To install Python2 in 18.04, run:



sudo apt install python-minimal
