I reebooted Ubuntu 22.04.02 LTS and a command line appears. I cannot access the desktop. I was trying to fix an issue with LabelImg and python 3.9 and python 3.10 before I rebooted. What should I do in order to display the desktop and have access to my files?? I tried installing the desktop with sudo apt-get but nothing was installed...

How to start GUI from command line?

    Have you changed the default `python3` version? as Ubuntu Desktop requires the *default* python3 be unchanged... Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Server however is less critical on default python3. You'll likely fix your issue if python3 defaults are returned to normal. – guiverc Jun 23 '23 at 13:01

    If you've changed the python3 default version; you'll find many Ubuntu tools don't work (*which may include `apt` too*) thus are limited to manual tools (like `wget` to download & `dpkg` to install packages instead of front-end tools like `apt` that do both but need a (default version) python3 working. What do you see with `python3 -V` for example; if that has changed from what is expected for 22.04; Ubuntu tools that require python3 may not work correctly or work at all (*not working at all is the best/safest option actually*) – guiverc Jun 23 '23 at 13:12
  • The question currently seems unanswerable due to a lack of information. "*trying ABC*" doesn't tell us what you actually did. It also does not show us complete, accurate terminal input and output that we could use to help troubleshoot. – user535733 Jun 23 '23 at 14:39
