guster · 2018-12-16 16:06:23

Hello, i have a problem and i cant found any solution.
I install gdm and gnome, gdm and gnome work well, but when i try to open gnome-control-center(settings) it doesn't open.
When i run it from the shell it shows the following output.

➜  ~ gnome-control-center

** (gnome-control-center:3125): WARNING **: 12:51:52.900: Ignoring broken panel universal-access (missing desktop file)

** (gnome-control-center:3125): WARNING **: 12:51:52.901: Ignoring broken panel wacom (missing desktop file)
**

[1]    3125 abort (core dumped)  gnome-control-center

Any help is welcome.

Sure you're running it from a gnome session?

From what I understand, I think I'm in a gnome session.

Yup, there's also https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=240516

That solution did not work for me, but I could solve it in another way.
I think the error was generated because the launchers were missing from the gnome application menu.
I solve it by eliminating the cache and local folder. This restore all the applications on the menu.

 sudo rm -r .local .cache

Thanks seth for the help
