The default apt package on Ubuntu 22.04 is Spdyer 4.2.1, which seems incompatible with the embedded Python 3.10. The simplest way to install Spyder 5.4 on Ubuntu 22.04 is to install Spyder using pip and then make a symbolic link.

You may need to uninstall Spyder 4.2.1 first.

cd ~
sudo apt purge spyder -y
sudo apt autoremove

Step 1: Install spyder using pip

pip install spyder

Step 2: Create a symbolic link for spyder, replace your_username with your ubuntu user

sudo ln -s /home/your_username/.local/bin/spyder /usr/bin/spyder

Try to start Spyder on a terminal by

spyder

Spyder should now start correctly.
