Workaround

Problem related to python environment and gnome-terminal. One of possible solutions is to remove gnome-terminal.

Install terminator as replacement for gnome-terminal, or xterm can be used instead of gnome-terminal

Code Block
languagebash
sudo apt-get install terminator
sudo apt-get remove gnome-terminal
