I get this error every time I open a terminal and I also can get it any time I try some command. I tried to fix it by removing node and npm completely from computer but it still shows up. I checked for the "internal/modules/cjs/loader.js" file using "locate" but I don't have it on my computer. This error showed up after I updated my Ubuntu to 18.04.3 LTS from Ubuntu 16 or 14, I can't remember exactly.

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:638
    throw err;
    ^

    at startup (internal/bootstrap/node.js:283:19)
    at bootstrapNodeJSCore (internal/bootstrap/node.js:622:3)

if I go to folder ~/Downloads

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:638
    throw err;
    ^

    at bootstrapNodeJSCore (internal/bootstrap/node.js:622:3)

if I try the node command 

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:638
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module '/home/rzone/Downloads/node'

    at startup (internal/bootstrap/node.js:283:19)

same if I try the rvm command (I had installed the Ruby Version Manager before upgrading Ubuntu)

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:638
    throw err;
    ^

  • How exactly do you "open a terminal", and what has node got to do with it? If you start, say, an `xterm` from your window manager, node shouldn't be involved at all. If this happens in a particular application (say, Visual Studio), please edit your question. – dirkt Oct 07 '19 at 10:49
  • I'm using gnome classic and I open the default GNOME Terminal v3.28.2, nothing related to Visual Studio or any other IDE. I don't know what node has got to do with, that is my problem. Seems magic to me that node is involved in this. I double checked any .profile .bashrc .bash_profile file and nothing unusual happens there. – Razvan Pavel Oct 07 '19 at 20:12
  • Hey Razvan did you ever get and answer on this - I now have it? – Kibi Mar 05 '23 at 15:42
  • @Kibi no, since then I deleted and reinstalled my ubuntu, after that I choose to work in a vbox instead of dual-boot – Razvan Pavel Apr 16 '23 at 08:00
