Terminator does not work
I installed terminator
and it was working very well, but suddenly It stopped working.
When I add terminator repository, I got this error:
Command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome-terminator/ppa
Error:
E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome-terminator/ppa/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.
and When I ran terminator
command in the terminal, I got this error:
File "/usr/bin/terminator", line 123
except (KeyError,ValueError), ex:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Error in sys.excepthook:

You should not use PPA to get Terminator installed. You have to remove the problematic PPA with
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:gnome-terminator/ppa
and then install the Terminator from universe pocket.
All you need is to enable this pocket and install package from it:
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install terminator
And then use it as was planned:
$ terminator -v terminator 1.91
You can now use the instructions provided on this page after the project moved to GitHub:
