title: I am not able to activate my virtual environment in linux
body: <p>I am not able to activate the venv available in my project directory.</p>
  <p>When I do the following it still doesn't activate the venv and I am not able to use python or pip installed in my venv.</p>
  <pre><code>/my_project$ source venv/bin/activate
  
  (venv) /my_project$
  </code></pre>
  <p>It does show that the venv is activated but when I check python and pip, version and location it shows that both are from the root dir <code>usr/bin/python</code> &amp; <code>usr/bin/pip</code>.</p>
  <p><strong>Venv Installation Process</strong></p>
  <pre><code>/my_project$ python3.10 -m venv venv
  </code></pre>
  <p>It's working well in my new directory and I am also able to activate the <code>venv</code> but my existing <code>venv</code> in the project folder that I created yesterday is not starting. I am new to Linux and don't know much about it but I believe it has something to do with the Linux reboot as after the reboot this started happening.
  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks</p>
  <p>OS: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS<br />
