A Problem occurred when checking for the updates

How can I fix it?

  • xterm is there but how to make terminal appear? – Manzurul Hoque Rumi May 26 '18 at 14:59

    @kenn nope. This is caused by deleting the system default python, which is a dependency of gnome-terminal and a whole bunch of other important stuff. Removing the pre-installed python is a really easy way to wreck Ubuntu – Zanna May 26 '18 at 15:06

    17.04 is unsupported, so you need to upgrade to fix any package management issue - see How to install software or upgrade from an old unsupported release? – Zanna May 26 '18 at 15:18
