Unspecific "SPIFFS Upload failed!" - Ubunut 22.04

[GaudiLabs]

Got an unspecific "SPIFFS Upload failed!" just before esptool.py upload with no further error message running Ubunut 22.04. Found the problem to be a python vs Python 3 command call (and binary path) issue. Solution for me was:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python-is-python3

https://linuxpip.org/python-is-python3/
Maybe this can help others...
