Ctrl-Alt-F1 Unavailable after removing python3

I recently removed python3 from my Ubuntu 18.04 system, and the next time I tried to logon I was greeted with a failed to start session error when entering my credentials. Unfortunately, Ctrl-Alt-F1 does not open a TTY for me. Trying CtrlAlt-F2 etc. also does nothing.



I am OK with re-installing Ubuntu, but unsure if this is necessary at this time.

If friendlier options fail, you can try:



  1. Boot a live USB.


  2. Open a terminal and mount the partition where ubuntu lives:



    sudo mount /dev/sdX /mnt



  3. Chroot to your system:



    sudo chroot /mnt



  4. Now in the root environment it's possible you have to edit /etc/resolv.conf:



    nano /etc/resolv.conf


    add



    nameserver 8.8.8.8


    and save the file



  5. Run sudo apt update


  6. Run sudo apt install python3

  7. Close your live system and reboot.
