Linux Mint - can't access terminal

[jbg3]

I'm new to Linux and seem to have lost my terminal since running some updates.

Clicking on the terminal app and using ctrl-alt-T don't get any response.

These are the updates I've run:

Firefox is set to reopen tabs and windows and this, too, is no longer working correctly - not sure if it's related or traces to the same problem. I haven't installed any other programs or interfered with the OS apart from the updates.

Unfortunately I don't have a system image I could restore.

If anyone can spot the issue and/or suggest a solution, I'd be most grateful!

Did you get any messages after running the updates?
on mint you should have the terminal in the bottom left of the bar [unless you deleted it] it will also be in the menue [again unless you deleted it]
so.. re-start the system if you are still having problems come back with the error reports

Can you get to a terminal from the Menu?

install a different terminal app using the Software Manager - there's usually more than a few for basically every distro (I use one named "Black Box")
