Cannot access to (or find out) main Settings program

I am using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.



After removed Ibus Preferences & Input Method I'm not able to find out the main Settings program. There are somethings I have tried:




  • Hit Windows button on keyboard then find Settings (Settings not show on search result).

  • Click Power button on top right screen, then click on Setting button.

  • Try to right click on desktop screen then choose Change Background.


But nothing helps.



How can I fix it?

    It is unclear which Settings you are trying to open. Usually the system is shipped with GNOME Control Center (gnome-control-center command in terminal). If you are trying to open IBus Preferences you can use ibus-setup command (part of ibus package).

    Hi @N0rbert, my Settings is exactly gnome-control-center you have mentioned. I just mention to Ibus because after I removed it, I run into this problem.
