[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1787863] Re: gnome-control-center occasionally fails to launch after multiple tries
[Expired for gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.] ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Expired -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1787863 Title: gnome-control-center occasionally fails to launch after multiple tries Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Release: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Package Version: 1:3.28.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 Expected Behavior: Program should always launch upon request. Problematic Behavior: Attempting to launch this program causes the shell to display the loading indicator for an unusual amount of time, only to never display the program. Description: Upon launching this program through a terminal emulator, it never opens and never displays any output. Passing the verbose (-v) option with the program has the same result. When I launch it through the GUI, the shell displays the spinning circle (loading indicator) for an absurd amount of time. The program still does not open. This is a fresh install, so I restarted my computer. When launched again, the program opened and operated normally. However, upon closing the program and opening it again, it does not open up. Task management tools only show the process for a brief 3-5 seconds after requesting it to open and then it disappears. To my knowledge, this bug does not affect any other programs. Workaround: Entering the command killall gnome-control-center allows it to open again upon next launches.

What error do you get when it fails if you try to start if from a comand line? Could you add your journalctl from around the time of the issue?
