Ubuntu – Ubuntu 14.04 + Gnome 3.10 = cannot open settings

14.04gnomesystem-settings

I've encountered a problem. After some time of using my ubuntu 14.04 + gnome shell i happend not to be able to open system settings. When I open it usually just nothing happens or system error occurs and it asks me to send a report.I've tried to run it from command line, but here's what i get:

marcin@marcin-laptop:~$ sudo gnome-control-center

(gnome-control-center.real:3201): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot derive 'GnomeControlCenter' from non-fundamental parent type 'CcShell'

(gnome-control-center.real:3201): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion 'result != 0' failed

(gnome-control-center.real:3201): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed

I've found in google that

Downgrading the library 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu1~saucy3 to 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu45 fixed the issue for me too.

Firstly, I ran:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-control-center

It didn't help so i ran this one and it solved my problem:

sudo apt-get -f install --reinstall gnome-control-center

I hope it will help someone in the future.
