[Solved, kinda] Gnome Settings not opening.

Whenever I try to launch gnome-control-center I get this error

(gnome-control-center:33540): Clutter-CRITICAL **: 23:17:16.758: Unable to initialize Clutter: Unable to initialize the Clutter backend: no available drivers found.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I do have clutter installed, other than that I can't think of anything useful I could add.

Re: [Solved, kinda] Gnome Settings not opening.

I guess the coredump would be particularily useful. Also the environment (display server, in case: which wayland implementation)
Can you run "GDK_BACKEND=x11 gnome-control-center"?

I believe the display server I'm running is X.Org 11.0 (from NVIDIA X Server Settings)

Re: [Solved, kinda] Gnome Settings not opening.

After upgrading some 240 packages, GNOME Settings is now launching again. Still dk what the problem was.
