Public bug reported: Similar issues have been reported before but marked as Invalid. I don't know why they've been marked as invalid but I' reporting this as a new bug.
Attempting to run gnome-control-center results in the message "Segmentation fault (core dumped)", but I do not know where the core has been dumped, they may even be switched off but I can't remember where you enable them. Running it under GDB gives the following: Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1". [New Thread 0x7fffef1d7700 (LWP 3329)] [New Thread 0x7fffee4fd700 (LWP 3330)] Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007fffbf2e5146 in ?? () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcogl.so.12 I am running Ubuntu 13.10 and I'm using gnome-control-center from Proposed. The same issue appears in the stock gnome-control-center and the other bug reports say to try the upstream version. ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1248953 Title: gnome-control-center fails to launch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1248953/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
