I'm configuring a relatively new installation of Disco & something happened that caused the GNOME Settings app to not be able to launch.
Do I need to reinstall a package? If so, which one? I'd think it would be gnome-control-center, but doing that seems to have no effect.
Running this command from the terminal produces literally no output; clicking the settings launcher icon brings up a loading cursor for a few seconds and nothing else.
edit: here's the requested output of journalctl:
