System Settings won't start, Ubuntu 16.04












9















Title says it all.



I did sudo apt-get upgrade and sudo apt-get autoremove and all that stuff, but System Settings still won't open.



I tried opening it from a Terminal, and it returned Bus error (core dumped)



Any help would be appreciated!

          Try this,



          sudo apt-get remove unity-control-center
          sudo apt autoremove
          sudo apt-get install unity-control-center


          It worked for me.

          And if you are trying to do this with Ubuntu 18.04, try this:



          sudo apt-get remove gnome-control-center
          sudo apt autoremove
          sudo apt-get install gnome-control-center


          This is because Ubuntu decided to switch their user interface from Unity to Gnome.

          • Ubuntu decided to switch from unity (the first person said "unity-control-center") to gnome ("gnome-control-center"). The commands are very similar, however Kemin asked how for Ubuntu 18.

          • Jake - someone commented that your post was a dupe, I questioned that & they removed their comment which gives mine no context. Probably I should just remove mine now that I see comments can be removed..
