Ubuntu

Settings app in "show applications" is missing

Asked by Roman Smith

This is my first day on Ubuntu and Linux from windows 10. In addition to the problem, I clicked the settings icon on the top right that is to the left of the lock and power icons. It doesn't do anything. Not sure what I did wrong. Where can I find it?

For diagnostic purposes please proceed as follows:

Open a terminal window (e.g. by simultaneously pressing Ctrl-Alt-t)
Issue the commands

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
gnome-control-center

If a dialogue window with system settings opens, close that window again.

Then use the terminal window's menu entries "Edit - Select all" and "Edit - Copy" and finally paste everything into your question document that we can see.
