I have ubuntu 22 and it was working properly. today I opened it and found that the terminal was not found and also the dock of ubuntu was not in its proper position. I found it down and its shape is different.
I need some help, please. I don't have any time to reinstall ubuntu again and I have a lot of programs and configurations on the currently broken ubuntu :(
You may have messed up with python, which accordingly breaks your system.
I don't have any time to reinstall ubuntu again
I am sorry, but wrongly administering the system is your act, and you have to take the consequences. Surely take the time to backup all your critical user data if your backup is not yet up-to-date before any attempt to repair the system.
1 – You may, if your packaging system is not broken, be able to restore your system by reinstalling the essential components of the Ubuntu desktop. Get to a terminal and reinstall ubuntu-desktop with the command
sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
If you can make it to the login screen, get to a terminal by hitting Ctrl+Alt+F4 and log in on the TTY. After the reinstallation, log out of the TTY then return to the login screen (Alt+F1) and log in to the graphical interface.
Alternatively, boot to a recovery prompt with network access using the Grub menu.
If that does not work then
2 – There is a way to reinstall a system keeping current data and configuration: one can install without formatting the partitions (Choose " Something else" in the installer). There is a big chance that that will repair the system.
3 – A fresh reinstall will be your only rescue of none of the previous attempts succeeded. The advantage here is that little technical knowledge is required.
