Settings (gnome-control-center) does not open in 19.10

  • 772

The settings app does not open at all. I have tried restarting the computer, uninstalling and reinstalling gnome-control-center. Neither method worked. I don't remember doing anything that may cause this issue.

When I run sudo gnome-control-center from the terminal, this is the result: 

**
ERROR:../shell/cc-shell-model.c:458:cc_shell_model_set_panel_visibility: assertion failed: (valid)
Bail out! ERROR:../shell/cc-shell-model.c:458:cc_shell_model_set_panel_visibility: assertion failed: (valid)
Aborted
gnome settings 19.10

  1. I have been having the same problem. I am on a Debian 10 system running Cinnamon.

    I did find a workaround at

    by doing the following in a bash shell:

    XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center
