Is there any way to reset the System Settings Control Panel page?
The Control Panel was fine, but the for no apparent reason, PRIVACY, BACKGROUND and a host of other icons have vanished…
My system seems pretty messed up after the upgrade… Shutdown, Reset, and Logout from the menu no longer work either…
However, I can launch the Privacy panel from the terminal:
activity-log-manager
and it runs… so why is this, and others, now missing from the System Setting Control Panel?
I have checked and: activity-log-manager-control-center is installed
Is there a config file I can check, or a setting in Gconf where the list of icons are referenced?
I have run – in desperation –
sudo apt-get purge unity*
sudo apt-get purge ubuntu*
sudo apt-get autoremove
Run Gconf-cleaner and Janitor
then re-installed all packages
Still the same issue….?
