Can't boot to Mint OS

Post by ajexia »

After I deleted python3 using sudo apt remove python3 firefox, app manager, terminal suddenly disappeared and I rebooted my machine, and I can't get in. The screen is just displaying bunch of strings saying [ Ok ] started host name service
How can I fix this? For reference I'm using Mint 20 Cinnamon

Well, you broke your system. You should never mess with the system Python installation.

During boot, hold the Shift button to reach GRUB, from Advanced Options choose Recovery Mode, then choose "drop to root prompt with networking" and try installing Python3 there:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install python3
then reboot with the reboot command.
